Re: [PATCH v3 1/1] media: tegra-video: vi: fix invalid u32 return value in format lookup

Hi,

The media CI reports a missing Signed-off-by from Ricardo Ribalda,
but this patch was submitted directly by me and has not been handled
by any committer yet.

I believe this is a false positive.

Could you please confirm?

Thanks,
Hungyu
