Okay, thanks, I see that is very helpful information for me, and in
this case I had also fixed a small bug in one of Eric's patches, which
was initially overlooked (aquiring mutexes in wrong order,
releasing an unlocked mutex in some error paths).
I am completely unexperienced, and something that complex was not
expected to happen :-) so this is just to make sure I can handle it
correctly if something like this happens again.

In the case of PATCH v6 05/16 I removed the Reviewd-by: Bernd Edlinger
since it is now somehow two authors and reviewing own code is obviously
not ok, instead I added a Signed-off-by: Bernd Edlinger (and posted the
whole series on Eric's behalf (after asking Eric's permissing per off-list
e-mail, which probably ended in his spam folder)

Is this having two Signed-off-by: for mutliple authors the
correct way to handle a shared authorship?


Thanks
Bernd.
