Indeed carefully reading the DCO Clause b) you are right.

True. In my understanding though if one bases their work on others work
they should at least keep the S-o-b tag as a common courtesy.

Commit messages explicitly says that the work is based on NXP internal
tree patches.

At this point I leave to Rogerio's appreciation on which S-o-B flags
to pull and how much
of his work is based on NXP tree.

Thanks a lot Rogerio and Krzysztof for helping move this forward.
