[PATCH v2] checkpatch: add missing bindings license check

[PATCH v2] checkpatch: add missing bindings license check

[Dmitry Rokosov]

All headers from 'include/dt-bindings/' must be verified by checkpatch
together with Documentation bindings, because all of them are part of
the whole DT bindings system.

The requirement is dual licensed and matching pattern:
    /GPL-2\.0(?:-only|-or-later|\+)? (?:OR|or) BSD-2-Clause/

The issue was found during patch review:

Changes v2 since v1 at [1]:
    - include/dt-bindings check is aligned to open parens
    - introduce more strict pattern for bindings license:
      /GPL-2\.0(?:-only|-or-later|\+)? (?:OR|or) BSD-2-Clause/

I believe this is the only checkpatch use of
	not <foo> =~ <bar>
instead of
	<foo> !~ <bar>

I prefer !~

You are totally right. Only this place uses such strange comparing. Let
me fix it and prepare new version quickly :)
