Sorry, but individual contributors do not need to give any credits to
NXP. If NXP wanted to sent the patches to have credit, they would do it.

Did sending happened?

If not, then any contributor is rightful to take the patches from
downstream and send them only, ONLY with their authorship. That's what
DCO allows and that's what established practice as well.

NXP had a chance to upstream. When they decided not to, they forfeit any
rights to claim they want any authorship.

NAK, there is no single patch like that from above author:

Remember, downstream code does not matter. Does not exist.
