Hi Jeff,

Thanks for running the series through your automation and sharing the feedback.
I’ve addressed these points in nxpwifi v8.

In nxpwifi v8, I added the Device Tree binding for "nxp,iw61x". However, I received
some negative feedback on that patch, mainly about the description focusing on the
driver instead of the hardware and missing proper CC and subject prefix. I’ll address
these issues in the next revision.
