b4 am has an option to add a link to a patch you apply from the mailing
list (-l, --add-link) but you should not be using that as a contributor.
In this case, that link provides no value and is just confusing.

They were also on v1. Did Laurent write part of these bindings, and
should he have a Co-developed-by?

Yes, that looks reasonable to me. Adding conditional stuff can be done
iff another soc re-uses the binding.
