It's your code, so why can't you relicense it under GPL? Why was it
not licensed under GPL from the beginning when it'sbeen written for
U-Boot?
Technically, the "original BSD license, modified by removal of the
advertising clause" (sometimes referred to as the "3-clause BSD
license") is considered to be compatible with the GNU GPL.
Best regards,
Viele Grüße,
