This is editor dependant. I'm not sure if there is a coding style entry
for having a newline present/absent.
I'm in favor of keeping the newline addition, however, please mention
it in the commit message.

Something between the lines of "while at it, also add a missing newline
to the am62p.env file".

Hmm, I'm not the one deciding if [PATCH 4/4] will get applied so I can't
chime in on that. However, I think it's good practice to send the
documentation changes along with the code changes. Otherwise, doc
updates might be forgotten/de-prioritized.

I won't block the series if doc does not get send, though.

Maybe for future submissions, you can consider writing this in the cover
letter:

"Since i'm unsure that PATCH 4/4 will be accepted, I've decided to send
the documentation changes in a future series"

Make sure to check that am62px_evm_a53_defconfig does not contain any
duplicate entries with the dfu fragment, like:

CONFIG_USB_GADGET_MANUFACTURER="Texas Instruments"
CONFIG_USB_GADGET_VENDOR_NUM=0x0451
CONFIG_USB_GADGET_PRODUCT_NUM=0x6165
