This is weirdly enough not what is called an X11 license [1] even
though it is named this way here... but this is an  MIT license [2]
with a small variation. (See below)

The MIT standard text [2] has a few extra commas and states instead:

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS",

Here "AS IS" is omitted. I am not sure this is material but IMHO it
would be good to get Toradex signoff on this.

With all this said, I think that your expression should be this
instead (and this applies to other places too):

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR MIT

Indeed... I checked the text just briefly and in 90% these licenses
are the same.

Right, Marcel from Toradex already replied that he tries to switch to
MIT license. Since this is already MIT-like license then maybe
relicensing will not be needed and could be done fast (e.g. without
signs of all involved people).

In such case let's skip this patch.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
