Hi,
I added his Signed-off tag as he provided basically this same patch in
a separate series [1] slightly before this submission and I wanted to
acknowledge his work. As far as I understand, this attribution is
within the guidelines.


From Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

Any further SoBs (Signed-off-by:'s) following the author's SoB are from
people handling and transporting the patch, but were not involved in its
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
development. SoB chains should reflect the **real** route a patch took
^^^^^^^^^^^
as it was propagated to the maintainers and ultimately to Linus, with
the first SoB entry signalling primary authorship of a single author.

I won't apply this patch anyway, so it is for others to decide if
"this attribution is within the guidelines". I stand by earlier
statement.

Thanks,
Guenter
