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 vf610-twr.dts file to this combination.

CCs were acquired using (updated some email addresses):
git shortlog -sne --no-merges arch/arm/boot/dts/vf610-twr.dts

By the way the email address:
CC: Xiubo Li <Li.Xiubo@freescale.com>
Jingchang Lu <b35083@freescale.com>
Chao Fu <B44548@freescale.com>
is no longer valid.
