[Sachin Saxena] Hello Thomas. Actually the files includes in this patch have been updated in current year through different patches and NXP legal department mandate us to update the NXP Copyright year(or Range) in all touched files.

We missed to update the same in relevant patches so initiated this specific copyright update patch request.
Hope this answers your query.
