To add onto this, for patches 1 and 2, as we haven't been able to
contact the original author (Ronald), I think the only ways we are
allowed to make changes are either doing them in separate patches, or
with the [name <email>: changes] tags. For the latter I thought you had
to do a Signed-off-by after it, but given the changes aren't just to
make the patch apply on a newer version, do you think the
Co-developed-by tag is also needed?
