Robin Getz 96f1050d3d Blackfin: mass clean up of copyright/licensing info
Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.

It also removes:
 - verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
 - file names (you are looking at the file)
 - bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
 - "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right

It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).

Plaintext

This BSD-Style License applies to a few files in ./arch/blackfin directory,
and is included here, so people understand which code they can use outside
the Linux kernel, in non-GPL based projects.
Using the files released under the "ADI BSD" license, must comply with
these license terms.
