[PATCH 7/8] ARM: dts: rockchip: relicense rk3188-radxarock.dts under GPLv2/X11

GPLv2-only devicetrees make reuse difficult for software components licensed
under a different license.

The consensus is that a GPL/X11 dual-license should allow all necessary uses,
so relicense the rk3188-radxarock.dts to this combination.

CCs were aquired by git shortlog -sne so it should've hopefully catched
every contributor.

I'm hoping to get Acked-by tags from the people in the Cc-list.
