Okay, I'll put together patches to fix that.

Where are you coming from with this question? The bindings previously didn't list a
license, is there some implicit license for them? I would have thought it was GPL-2.0?
IBM's (my employer's) preferred contribution license is GPL 2.0-or-later, so I was just
adding the SPDX marker to clarify.

You're asking if I have the power to relicense so I can dual license it this way?

Thanks for the pointer.

Ah, that makes more sense, I think I was thrown by some details of the example.

Okay. I wouldn't have thought the ordering mattered. Is this just a preference?
The tools seemed to run fine as is.

I'll re-order it regardless.

Yeah, I covered this in my cover letter. I was hoping to get away without
that for the moment as this seems like the first pinctrl binding to be
converted, however if you insist...

Okay, I'll take some time to digest this while looking at the documentation.

Yes, will fix that too.

Thanks for the prompt review!
