While looking into his commits, I believe the SOB in this patch is one
of the ways he uses to sign:
commit f99c1d4f94f91fd3a20bd2eaa3be9c5e7d2668eb
Author: Keerthy <j-keerthy@xxxxxx>

mfd: Add twl4030 madc driver

Introducing a driver for MADC on TWL4030 powerIC. MADC stands for monitoring
ADC. This driver monitors the real time conversion of analog signals like
battery temperature, battery cuurent etc.

Signed-off-by: Keerthy <j-keerthy@xxxxxx>

So, I'd prefer to keep the way it is.
