Hi Thomas, Greg,

The file drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac/led.c
did not have license information nor copyright notice and as such
it got included in commit b24413180f56 ("License cleanup: add SPDX
GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license"). I added you
guys as I propose to align this source file with the rest of
the driver sources and change it to ISC license and add the missing
copyright notice while at it (not sure if that warrants a separate
patch).

A separate patch would be good, to make it explicit that you are
changing the license of the file.

Ok.

And ISC, ick, why...  :)

Because the license text in the other driver source files is a 1:1 match with the ISC license. Another option could be MIT license which is in the preferred folder. Will have to consult our legal department about it though.

Thanks,
Arend
