Yes, there is. Run checkpatch (your question kinds of point to the fact
that you did not run it...):
WARNING: DT binding documents should be licensed (GPL-2.0-only OR
BSD-2-Clause)


If your new bindings use copied/derivative description or DTS code which
is licensed as only GPL-2.0, the bindings itself as derivative work
might need to stay as GPL-2.0 as well. Unless copyright holders agree to
re-license this as GPL2-OR-BSD. As representing company, your patch
might be enough to re-license, but maybe other people contributed. I
don't know.

I just wanted to be sure that you use GPL-2.0 in purpose, because
GPL2-OR-BSD cannot be used.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
