It is wanted to use MTK NAND driver with GPL-2.0 or MIT license.
But now it is only licensed as GPL-2.0.
So re-license it as dual MIT/GPL and replace license text with
SPDX tag.

When there is only one patch, no need to create a cover letter. You can
put the text which is in 0/1 below the three dashes '---'.

Also no need to send a new version while there is nothing changed in
the code. Patchwork automatically collects tags.


Thanks,
Miquèl

Arnd: would you send you Ack, just so we are 100% on a legal side?

For mtk_nand.c we are missing acks from (co-)authors of following commits:
1) Wei:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=07f76443ef81e2b76bb6f7858ba183cd60357ada

All are absolutely trivial.

The only /complex/ change is from Arnd. I'm not sure if that is
copyrightable or not.

Hi Arnd,

You ever sent one patch to improve MTK NAND driver,
commit 8ff0513bdcdd ("mtd: mtk: avoid warning in mtk_ecc_encode")

Now we want to relicense MTK NAND driver as Dual MIT/GPL and wish to get
your ACK.

It will be helpful if you can send your ACK.

Thanks,
Xiaolei

Thank you!

Xiaolei: please resend this patch without RFC in a subject. I believe it
can be applied/pushed now.

I found my tiny contribution for mtd_nand.c (f0dbe4aa35e73).
Anyway, I do not mind this.
