What's wrong with BSD-2-Clause, why not use that?
I cut myself off, I meant to say:
What's wrong with BSD-2-Clause, the standard dual license for
bindings, why not use that?
want to be inline with License of top level DTS, which is including this
header file
Unless there's a specific reason to use MIT (like your legal won't even
allow you to use BSD-2-Clause) then please just use the normal license
for bindings here.
Aligning with the DTS files is enough reason for me as that's where
these files are used. If you need to pick a permissive license for both,
then yes, use BSD-2-Clause. Better yet, ask your lawyer.
Conor would you agree with Rob? - my take is that he is ok with this
patch.
I don't think whether or not I agree matters, Rob said it's fine so it's
fine.
Just to close the loop here: Udit pointed me to this thread and having
gone through this already[1] with internal TI teams, the feedback we
have gotten from our licensing team (including legal) is to go with
GPL2 or MIT. BSD (2 and 3 clauses) were considered, but due to varied
reasons, dropped.
That said, Udit, since you are touching this, please update in the next
revision:

to

will post v2 with these changes after merge window is open.
Along with that in v2 will copy other contributors as well, who are
