Yes, this is changed consistently to "fsl," for the next revision of
the patchset.

The dtsi is quite different from the downstream version. But you are
right, I looked extensively at the downstream version, so I'll add the
NXP copyright.

BTW: Could you check internally to see if Freescale/NXP would be okay
with relicensing the DT bits I pulled from downstream as dual GPL-2.0
and MIT, to align with other DTs in the kernel?

I'm about to send v2 of the series. I'll CC you on the submission.

That's great news that there is now a common address for this. I think
it would be a good idea to have it added to MAINTAINERS as a reviewer.
