The current GPL only licensing on the device trees makes it very impractical for other software components licensed under another license.
To make it easier to reuse them, re-license the the device trees for Freescale (now NXP) SoCs and boards under license X11.

How do these changes match up to the kernel? Thanks!
The kernel dts files are GPLv2 and X11 dual licensed. E.g. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree...
To avoid dual licensing, we used X11 only. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#X11License
