Small signoff-handling sidenote: in such cases (when you are handling 
other people's patches) the expected workflow is to add your SOB line 
after Chris's line, instead of the Reviewed-by line.

I.e. it should look like this:

  Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@...s-sol.org>
  Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@....ntt.co.jp>

Showing the path of the patch - ending with your signoff.

Thanks,

	Ingo
