Greg,

Even though using copyleft-next was fine by Linus [0], AKASHI had brought that
he expected to see an "or" clause on the license declarations when using
copyleft-next. This was the only pending issue from the last v7 series [1]. To
be safe I re-touched the subject and Alan and Ted brought up sufficient reasons
for preferring the "or" language [2], as such this series goes with the "or"
language embraced so that it is even clearer than before that GPLv2 applies
when using copyleft-next on the Linux kernel.

This series depends on the few other UMH fallback lock changes I had submitted
earlier this month [3], and those remain without any noted issues. As usual,
all pending changes for this series are available on my linux-next tree on the
20170519-driver-data branch [4], this series was rebased on next-20170519.

Please let me know if there are any issues or questions.
