[PATCH v2] tools/libfdt/fdt_rw: fix SPDX-License-Identifier

Currently, the terms of both licenses (GPL 2.0 and BSD-2-Clause) must be
met.
However, before switching to the SPDX license identifier, the license
information in the file begins with:

"libfdt is dual licensed: you can use it either under the terms of
the GPL, or the BSD license, at your option."

Therefore, the missing "OR" between the licenses is added.

Fixes: 3508476 ("libfdt: SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ BSD-2-Clause")
