In general, I think you would use 'git log' to see who contributed to a
given file, and make sure that everyone who authored a change signed off
on the license change.

With regards to dts files, this is another reason I would like to see
that done as a strict re-sync with Linux rather than a stand-alone
change.  Saying we're importing file X from the kernel at revision Y
makes the license change pretty easy to spot and justify.
