Thanks for clarifying. It might be good to review section 12-14 here (I
have to re-read it periodically myself):
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches

If you're planning on distributing the patch yourself (pushing it up
towards Linus or giving it to someone else via a git tree or something),
then adding the signed-off-by would be appropriate (although not
necessarily in an email reply - usually just better to tell folks you've
queued it) before sending it onward.

Otherwise if you're not in the distribution path, an Acked-by: would be
more appropriate.

Yep. I've just queued it into my tree. Thanks for that!

thanks
