Some comments on this commit.

Adding license texts was a knee-jerk reaction to the request
to get over with a minor change. Not asking actual
contributors for permissions was the wrong thing to do, so I
reverted it.

I agree with Warner's view that dts files are not subject to
copyright because they're statements of facts. I also
checked other files in sys/dts/{arm,arm64}/overlays/ - none
of them has a license header, so my original commit was
consistent with the standards of that particular part of the
codebase and didn't introduce any legal exposure
(hypothetical or not) FreeBSD didn't have at the time of the
commit. Summing up everything above: I think r361796
brings files to the form they should be in.

If the eventual consensus in the Project is that dtso files
require licenses and copyright statements there need to be a
wider effort organized to get permissions from the respective
contributors.
