[PATCH v1] checkpatch: add missing bindings license check

From: Dmitry Rokosov
Date: Fri Mar 17 2023 - 16:16:42 EST


All headers from 'include/dt-bindings/' must be verified by checkpatch
together with Documentation bindings, because all of them are part of
the whole DT bindings system.

The requirement is dual licensed and matching string:
'GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause'

The issue was found during patch review:
