Files in include/dt-bindings/ may be useful to any OS that uses DT, when
building the OS binary itself, not just when building DTB files. Since
some OSs are not GPL, they need non-GPL headers. This change relicenses
two of the useful files so that they can be used under the MIT license
when desired. I wrote these files and NVIDIA legal has approved this
change. Geert also ack'd the change; he fixed some spelling issues in the
comments.Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

The Marvell ICU unit is found in the CP110 block of the Marvell Armada
7K and 8K SoCs. It collects the wired interrupts of the devices located
in the CP110 and turns them into SPI interrupts in the GIC located in
the AP806 side of the SoC, by using a memory transaction.Until now, the ICU was configured in a static fashion by the firmware,
and Linux was relying on this static configuration. By having Linux
configure the ICU, we are more flexible, and we can allocate dynamically
the GIC SPI interrupts only for devices that are actually in use.The driver was initially written by Hanna Hawa .

The Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) present on certain MIPS systems
can be used to route external interrupts to individual VPEs and CPU
interrupt vectors. It also supports a timer and software-generated
