All,

I just noticed that this patch lacks my signoff. This is due to the
fact that Matt queued this particular patch, and I didn't update the
branch to add my sob, so it is only signed off by Matt not me.

How should we handle this now, and in the future? Matt and I share
maintainership responsibilities, and so everything that gets queued
into the EFI tree may be treated as signed off by either and/or the
both of us. For multi-maintainer trees that get pulled directly, this
is usually not an issue AFAIK, but given that Ingo is the one that
deals with EFI usually, and prefers to apply the patches individually,
this may get flagged as a missing signoff.

In any case, I am happy to respin the patches, re-sign the tag etc if
this is deemed necessary.

Thanks,
Ard.
