A long story, don't laugh at me.

I imported your patch with "git am", but I imported the "mbox" of the
complete message. That was the start of the disaster.

The whole E-mail was in the commit message (also the notes before the
patch), but that was easy to fix.

After git format-patch, checkpatch complained that your "From" E-mail
!= "Signed-off-by" E-mail. Obviously git has taken the "From" from the
first E-mail header.

I looked again at your patch, there it was right, and there was also
a different date (again same root cause).

So I took the shortcut: Just copy/pasted the whole patch header into
the generated patch file, without thinking further -> Boom.

(a) Don't use "git am" blindly
(b) Don't take shortcuts in the process
