Although, since the code originally came from you a Signed-off-by is
appropriate. The SOB is a chain of where the patch came from. As Juri
actually has part ownership, Juri should have a signed-off-by on the
patch. The problem with git is that it allows for multiple signed off
bys but only one owner.
