The LICENSES file is already in LIC_FILES_CHKSUM. Unfortunately the files themselves usually don't have clear license headers, but at least there is Copyright in them, so it might be possible to map the LICENSES files sections to actual source files (in cases where it's not explicitly mentioned) and then map these source files to package names and set the LICENSE:<pkg> to match.
I was waiting for an agreement that this is really needed as BSD is quite permissive and it would be surprising if LGE was the only company which had to fix this LICENSE issue (in long forgotten bbappend from 2014), so maybe someone else have already better upstream-able change handy (and this e-mail would be just a reminder to upstream it - my over-optimistic self said).
