MIT is the same as X11 but without the references to the X Consortium that
do not make sense in the kernel context: please see [1] and [2]. The MIT
license is present under LICENSES/preferred in the kernel tree, but not the
X11 license.

The berlin2cd.dtsi file first says "the X11 license", but then the actual
license text appearing in the file is the MIT license.

[1] https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html
[2] https://spdx.org/licenses/X11.html

Right. With the clarification regarding X11/MIT above, I'll change to

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR MIT
// Copyright 2018 Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gmail.com>

Is that okay?

Thanks.
Alexander
