For example, just inside
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/, the exact same thing
is expressed in four different ways:

(GPL-2.0-only or BSD-2-Clause)
GPL-2.0-only or BSD-2-Clause
(GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause)
GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause

AFAICT, lower-case "or" isn't even compliant to the spec. The outer
parentheses doesn't really serve any purpose (even single-item
"(GPL-2.0)" appears), and that, and the random whitespace garbage, just
makes the tags appear different unless one does a lot of ad hoc
normalization.

But feel free to nak/drop it, just a suggestion.
