Signed-off-by: Shinya Kuribayashi <skuribay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi list, I don't want to be a nitpicker, nor don't have the right to mention the header licenses, but I have trouble with some asm headers not having GPL reference. For example, I was going to make use of <asm/cpu.h> in U-Boot project, but the patch was rejected due to the lack of GPL references. I've looked closely into all <asm/[foo/]bar.h> files, it seems there're lots of headers without GPL reference. Basically, I'm not going to talk about all of them. Some are board-dependent, some are used as pipe- or proxy-method, etc. These headers might not be worth doing so. However, some asm headers which include core MIPS defines, useful macros, useful inline assemblers, etc. will be also useful for other projects than Linux. And it's highly appreciated if such header has proper GPL referense in it. I've created the following patch for an example. Is there any chance such changes are accepted? Any comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance, Shinya include/asm-mips/asmmacro-32.h | 4 ++++ include/asm-mips/asmmacro-64.h | 4 ++++ include/asm-mips/bugs.h | 4 ++++ include/asm-mips/cmp.h | 10 +++++++--- include/asm-mips/cpu.h | 4 ++++ include/asm-mips/dma.h | 4 ++++ include/asm-mips/highmem.h | 4 ++++ include/asm-mips/mips_mt.h | 4 ++++ include/asm-mips/mipsmtregs.h | 5 +++++ include/asm-mips/smtc.h | 9 ++++++--- include/asm-mips/smtc_ipi.h | 4 ++++ include/asm-mips/smtc_proc.h | 5 +++++ include/asm-mips/smvp.h | 10 +++++++--- include/asm-mips/thread_info.h | 7 ++++++- 14 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/asm-mips/asmmacro-32.h b/include/asm-mips/asmmacro-32.h index 5de3963..8ac6703 100644 --- a/include/asm-mips/asmmacro-32.h +++ b/include/asm-mips/asmmacro-32.h @@ -1,6 +1,10 @@ /* * asmmacro.h: Assembler macros to make things easier to read. * + * This file is subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public + * License.
