It is not clear who is the author of this patch. I'm guessing it is
Mark Hasemayer, since
they're the sender, but in that case their Signed-off-by tag should be
first [4].
If it is Bhanu Prakash Maiya, then the git commit should list them as
the author.

Also note that for patches which are developed by > 1 person,
Co-developed-by is an option
to share attribution.
