From: "leilk.liu" <redacted> It is wanted to use MTK spi bus 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. Signed-off-by: leilk.liu <redacted>Please use your name here, not an email alias for where your name goes.
OK, I'll fix it, thanks!

This is the reason that I sent this patch to ask for ACKs from all contributors (who are all in the To mail-list) for these files.
Can you please get your lawyer to also sign off on this license change patch, so that we know that you have their approval for this incase there are questions about it in the future?
I need to use the code in other projects that is not with GPL-2.0. Also, the license change is approved by Mediatek supervisor.
thanks, greg k-h
