I used to have double Signed-off-by back when I was seconded to Linaro.
But I am guessing that you want the second and don't need the first
one. Unless you tell me otherwise, I will remove the first one on
my next rebase.

Anyway, the new variable names are much more clear, good stuff,
queued for further review and testing, thank you!

Thanx, Paul
