Add Copyright for below Tegra dt-bindings headers:
1. clock
2. gpio
3. mailbox
4. memory
5. thermal
6. reset
7. pinctrl
Why? Please explain.

These are trivial constants, so I doubt there is here any copyright value.
You may see I was adding the missing Copyright of files created by 
Nvidia developers in past. I have not evaluated the copyright value of 
the contents added in the initial check-in. As suggested, I plan to drop 
this patch in any further revisions of patches from this list.

I am sorry, but that's not entirely how it works. You cannot add only
selected (stripped) copyrights backwards. If adding, please include all
copyright holders.
I had emailed the authors(outside Nvidia) asking about additional 
Copyright to add, but did not get response from all. One author was fine 
with adding the Nvidia Copyright. I see now Copyright backwards needs us 
to follow above approach. As mentioned above in my reply to your 
comments I am planning to drop this patch if sending subsequent 
revisions in this patch list.

Thanks for the inputs.

-regards,
