Sorry I should have been included your copyright.

I missed it...
I didn't included your SOF because.
AFAIK without explicit permission of the other person we shouldn't include SOF.
That's why I didn't included your SOF and thanked for your efforts after SOF.
Sorry if my understanding is wrong.

There are few comments for this patch series and I fixed it and sent the v6 version.
V6 version of patch series already got merged on the net-next.

Sent the patch by updating the driver with your copy right
"net: phy: Update copyright info".

Sorry for the noise will fix these type of issues next time onwards...

Regards,
Kedar.
