Hi Grant,

Great thanks for the confirmation! This would timely resolve one of the release 
blocker for the Xen 4.17 release :)

Kind regards,
Henry

Hi,

+Grant Likely from Linaro.

In the following change, we need to change the license to MIT (from GPL) of one 
of Xen public headers which has a Linaro copyright.

@Grant Likely: could you confirm that Linaro is agreeing for Xen Project to do 
such a change ?

Kind regards
Bertrand Marquis

This header have been created by moving code from other part of the
project and miss a licence header. The original source code was some
version of GPL or LGPL but we intend to have the public header to be
MIT so they can be included easily in other projects.

Part of device_tree_defs.h were moved from libxl_arm.c which is
LGPL-2.1-only. And part were moved from device_tree.h that is
GPL-2.0-only.

Part of the original code were added by Julien Grall @ Citrix with a
Linaro "hat" in commits c3ba52a84dd8 and 405c167f0ec9 and
886f34045bf0. The other part were added by Ian Campbell @ Citrix, with
commit 0c64527e7fc9.

public/device_tree_defs.h")
