I just thought it at first but this wraps two files, with different license.
include/linux/libfdt_env.h: GPLv2 only scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt*.c : GPLv2+ or BSD-2-Clause
Looking at the include/linux/libfdt_env.h, I thought GPLv2 only would be preferred for the kernel-specific code.
If you prefer to align with scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt*.c I can change it, but I would also respect the opinion from David Daney, the author of the following commit:
commit ab25383983fb8d7786696f5371e75e79c3e9a405 Author: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com> Date: Thu Jul 5 18:12:38 2012 +0200
of/lib: Allow scripts/dtc/libfdt to be used from kernel code
-- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
