Subject: checkpatch: introduce proper bindings license check
Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2023 22:17:15 +0300
All headers from 'include/dt-bindings/' must be verified by checkpatch
together with Documentation bindings, because all of them are part of the
whole DT bindings system.
The requirement is dual licensed and matching patterns:
* Schemas:
/GPL-2\.0(?:-only)? OR BSD-2-Clause/
* Headers:
/GPL-2\.0(?:-only)? OR \S+/
Above patterns suggested by Rob at:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAL_Jsq+-YJsBO+LuPJ=ZQ=eb-monrwzuCppvReH+af7hYZzNaQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The issue was found during patch review:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230313201259.19998-4-ddrokosov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
