You can't do that, that's plain wrong, sorry. There are issue raised in
the review of v2, please try to understand the problem and propose a
solution there. This is not what we need.

AP0144 seems to be a typo.

Listing people as maintainers when they had nothing to do with
development of a file isn't very polite.

How a sensor is used is not relevant for its DT bindings.

There's also no explanation for this.

No input clock, reset signal, ports ?
