[PATCH] ASoC: cs35l45: Relicense to GPL only
Cirrus never intended to upstream dual licensed code, convert to GPL only.
Signed-off-by: Charles Keepax ckeepax@opensource.cirrus.com ---
Apologies for this but this was never our intention and I believe that it can be a little legally involved maintaining dual licensed kernel code. Fortunately not that many people outside of Cirrus have contributed to the files in question. I have CCed everyone who has contributed both internally and externally.
Thanks, Charles

Pierre, Uwe,
Apologies for chasing but it would be really helpful to get an ack for this one, we need the approval of everyone who contributed to fix the licensing issue.

I'd say removing a license option isn't so critical; and my contribution probably isn't relevant for the copyright, but INAL and for avoidance of doubt:

Sorry, I missed that you were asking me...
My only contribution is a two-character change in a header file to make cppcheck happy.
-int cs35l45_apply_patch(struct cs35l45_private *cs43l45); +int cs35l45_apply_patch(struct cs35l45_private *cs35l45);
I double-checked with Intel legal to be sure, and there's no issue with removing the BSD3 license.

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.
Thanks, Mark
