For dual-license stuff like this, I need to see a signed-off-by: from
your corporate lawyer so that we know that they fully understand the
issues involved here with dual licenses.

You are free to take your original version from your company and submit
it to the BSD codebase, but when taking it from Linux like this, there
is a lot more process and issues involved and so we need HPE's lawyers
to sign off.

Without that, sorry, I can't take this change.
