Thank you, I can correct that.

Indeed, it is due to 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"'.
I can fix this as part of v2.

Although I am new to upstream communities and may make mistakes, I am
eager to learn and improve.

After leaving SuSe[0], the current maintainer of the NXP S32G DT files
became inactive[1]. As a result, this area is not currently being
maintained. This is the actual reason why I attempted to add myself as a
maintainer of that area. Although I acknowledge that I may not have
enough experience to become a maintainer, I am concerned that the NXP
S32G DT patch submission may be blocked for everyone due to the current
situation.

Should someone else from MAINTAINERS take over this area, or are there
other alternatives?
