Then please license it just like bindings, so dual license with BSD.

OK, I guess I won't be the only one confused :). This entry here is not
parsed for any tools and only sometimes people look at it. The questions
are directed via entry in maintainers file or via git history, so you
can put company email just there.

This is a file for bindings, not for storing register values. There is
no single need to store register values (offsets, indexes) as bindings
as it is not appropriate. Therefore if you do not use it as an ID, just
remove the bindings header.
