Nit: this should mention what the overall purpose of the patch is,
i.e. "why we are doing this?", i.e. supporting macOS builds. It is
maybe obvious since macOS is mentioned (in the "what does this patch
do?" part), but it is best to be explicit.

Please read the section of the documentation I linked, it contains an
example on how this should be done, i.e. the Co-developed-by tag
cannot be on its own:

    https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#when-to-use-acked-by-cc-and-co-developed-by

`scripts/checkpatch.pl` also warns about this -- please run patches through it:

    WARNING: Co-developed-by and Signed-off-by: name/email do not match

Cheers,
