From: Christopher Spinrath <christopher.spinrath at rwth-aachen.de>
GPLv2-only devicetrees make reuse difficult for software components
licensed under a different license. In particular, the Utilite Pro
devicetree file (which includes imx6q-cm-fx6.dts) is already dual
licensed under GPLv2/X11.
Hence, relicense imx6q-cm-fx6.dts under GPLv2/X11 dual license.

Notes:
Changes since v2:
- fix typo in commit message
- add Igor's Acked-By (replacing the Cc)
Changes since v1:
- new patch in v2; without it the dual licensed of the imx6q-utilite-pro.dts
is not really useful because it includes imx6q-cm-fx6.dts.
