For the warning message:
From: Kelly Hung '<ppighouse@xxxxxxxxx>' != 'Signed-off-by: Kelly Hung <Kelly_Hung@xxxxxxxx>'

I replaced Kelly_Hung@xxxxxxxx with my private Gmail account.

Due to a security issue with ASUS's mail server, I am unable to use
ASUS's mail system to send patches out from my build server.
So I executed git send-email using my private gmail account.

To put light on ASUS’ upstream work, using your company address would be
nice in my opinion. Do you have it configured everything in git
(`~/.gitconfig`)?

git config --global user.name "Kelly Hung"
git config --global user.email Kelly_Hung@xxxxxxxx

Below is my git configuration.
[user]
name = Kelly Hung
email = Kelly_Hung@xxxxxxxx
[sendemail]
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpEncryption = tls
smtpUser = ppighouse@xxxxxxxxx
smtpServerPort = 587

I made sure the "From" value after executing git format-patch was my ASUS
email address.

Subject: [PATCH v7 1/2] dt-bindings: arm: aspeed: add ASUS X4TF board

Since my smtp server is Gmail, when I run send-gmail it replaces my "From"
value with the Gmail account. I asked ASUS IT for assistance today and
tried to get an SMTP acount.

*A thing you should know if you are using multiple email accounts with `git send-email`* [1] says to use

git send-email --from ppighouse@xxxxxxxxx 000*.patch


Kind regards,

Paul
