NAK. Tools cannot certify DCO, cannot be authors.

Messed DCO even more.

Really, single compatible was co-authored by the tool? Folks cannot
write a single line of code nowadays or how does it work exactly?

And the tool did not even read the rules about sending patches, DCO,
proper subject for DT bindings? What is the use of the tool if it
produces obviously incorrect patch?

 subject: drop second/last, redundant "binding for". The "dt-bindings"
prefix is already stating that these are bindings.  See also:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v7.1-rc7/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.rst#L23

Ask your tool to read the docs before using it, please.

Best regards,
