Either you take his work almost like it is and he must be the author
*and* the first signed-off-by line, or you take the authorship if you
think you did enough modifications to the code and in this case you can
either credit him with a suggested-by before your signed-off, or you
can credit him with a co-developed-by + his signed-off and then yours.
