Hi Johannes,

Thanks for the catch on both.

The Reported-by line was a mistake. We will drop it in v3.

The From and Signed-off-by mismatch was not intentional. The
patch is authored from maoyi.xie@xxxxxxxxxx, but our NTU SMTP
does not accept git send-email. We sent the series through
Gmail with maoyixie.tju@xxxxxxxxx as the envelope sender, and
Gmail rewrote the From header.

In v3 we will set the email header From to the Gmail address and
add an explicit From: line at the top of the commit body, with the
NTU address, so the trailer matches the author.
