Arnd, by your statement 'I don't see any code that does this' do you
expect a piece of code that embed the license in the binary image? If
so, that seems weired to me.
Many of the drivers including this patch has the following statement in
the license that is additional company specific license such as BSD that
is applicable.

I read this as if the source is compiled and distributed as a binary
either a kernel module ko file or as part of the kernel binary, this
term must apply. Usually this is part of documentation that goes with
the product AFAIK.
Sorry, my fault. This is indeed the standard BSD license, and
I misread this as having to produce the copyright statement
from the binary itself. Please ignore whatever I said on the
subject.

Thanks Arnd for the clarification.
