Take the authorship. You are allowed to do that by both DCO and common
sense (you are not doing something immoral, unless author shows
interest/hints to fix it by themself).
Commit msg also needs fixing/rewriting.
Beside, one more nit since there will be a new version:
A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings for". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.
