Please don't mix the two.
The subject prefix should be "dt-bindings:". Please compare git log.
And please avoid putting the whole world in To rather than CC.

You're aware that a conversion from txt to YAML was under way?

Is that really the model name with x? No wildcards as compatible please.

That sounds like an implementation detail that should not be part of the
binding? It at least needs to be reworded.

Please use a generic node name - maybe proximity? Check other examples.

This part looks fine and could get my Reviewed-by if you split it off as
"dt-bindings: Add vendor prefix for MaxBotix" and add a sentence about
the company in its commit message.

You might want to CC the vendor, if you're not contracted by them.

Regards,
Andreas
