    I'm not an author of this patch, but I can explain that: Julian and
    Fabian are students of mine and as part of classwork they are supposed
    to submit a patch to the linux kernel. Since we require our students to
    work in groups of two and to collaborate on producing and submitting the
    patch, we also strongly urge them to submit with two signed-off-by-lines
    to properly attribute the patch to both students.

    I hope this doesn't cause any confusion or misbehaving tools or
    anything.

    If you are interested in further information on the course you can visit
    https://www4.cs.fau.de/Lehre/WS14/P_PASST/ (unfortunately only in
    german) or ask me by email. There is also a (not up-to-date for this
    semester) list of previously accepted patches that were produced in
    earlier iterations of this course:
