Can you please get rid of this "All rights reserved." ?
Sorry, that is the format I'm required to use by NVIDIA legal.
To address your next question, "all rights reserved" is 100% compatible with
OSS licenses. Equally, the phrase already exists throughout both the U-Boot and Linux
kernel code-base (just a couple of prominent examples) for both NVIDIA's copyright
notices, and those of many other prominent entities such as The Linux Foundation, Red
Hat, Intel, The Chromium OS Authors, etc.
Please fix this globally in the whole patch set.
I assume it cannot be a problem to do that, as in other places you did
not add this either, for example here:
--- a/arch/arm/include/asm/arch-tegra/gp_padctrl.h
+++ b/arch/arm/include/asm/arch-tegra/gp_padctrl.h

The primary purpose of this patch-set isn't to clean up copyright notices. As
such, where I added new copyright notices I followed the format that NVIDIA
legal requests me to. However, where I simply edited the date in existing
notices I didn't do any other cleanup.
Perhaps you could consider just not updating the notices? It isn't
required by U-Boot. I tend not to do it.
Also the all rights reserved thing is apparently pointless.
NVIDIA legal says I have to.
I believe the only choice I have is whether to contribute to U-Boot.
That said, I will go and double check again.
