I'm trying to take Ingo's suggestion, in the thread "[patch 1/8] x86, olpc: add debugfs interface for EC commands" he wrote:
==== This is not a valid signoff sequence - the 'From: ' author of the patch must be the first SOB line.
The way to do this is either to have a:
From: Paul Fox <pgf@laptop.org>
or to covert Paul Fox's SOB to a credit line, such as:
Originally-from: Paul Fox <pgf@laptop.org> ====
The original code was from Paul Fox. I changed it somewhat significantly, and Paul approves of the end result. Can someone suggest a way of expressing this, including tag ordering, that will be accepted by all parties? :)
