New kernel drivers would be GPL-2.0-only...

And based on this, TI can't contribute any new bindings.

The choice for bindings are:

GPL-2.0-only
GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause

MIT would be fine, but I just don't want proliferation of different
variations. See the .dts licenses for an example of that.

For this case, I would suggest going with GPL-2.0-only. It would be
nice to have blanket permission from TI to dual license any DT
bindings. I have this from several companies. It really only matters
for common bindings that we want to move out of the kernel though.
