But what does the kernel have for these exact files?
The exact same files in linux kernel are GPLv2 and X11 dual licensed. Here is an excerpt from fsl-ls1043a.dtsi * This file is dual-licensed: you can use it either under the terms * of the GPLv2 or the X11 license, at your option. Note that this dual * licensing only applies to this file, and not this project as a * whole. * > If it's GPL2.0+/X11 dual, then this is just a normal sync with Linux Kernel > v4.xx and > you should say that in the commit message.
