[PATCH] checkpatch: check proper licensing of Devicetree bindings

[Lubomir Rintel]

According to Devicetree maintainers (see Link: below), the Devicetree
binding documents are preferrably licensed (GPL-2.0-only OR
BSD-2-Clause).

Let's check that. The actual check is a bit more relaxed, to allow more
liberal but compatible licensing (e.g. GPL-2.0-or-later OR
BSD-2-Clause).
