This already has my Reviewed-by tag (and that's great), but just
making it clear that I am in favor of this landing with just the
GPL-2.0 license and not block waiting on the QC lawyers to hash out
whether the device tree can really be dual-licensed.

If lawyers come back soon then it will be easy to have a followup
patch that changes this.  Since (I don't think) any hobbyists have an
SDM845 in their hands right now it seems unlikely to be hard to track
down any authors in the meantime and make sure they're OK.

If lawyers don't come back soon then it will be a good thing that we
didn't block.


Having this skeleton DTS file land sooner rather than later will
unblock other patches to be sent out enabling other peripherals, which
seems like a nice thing.  :)
