russianneuromancer has been a great help with reporting and testing
many Bay Trail / Cherry Trail issues. He does not want to use his
real name.

AFAIK the Real Name rule only applies tot he Signed-off-by tag, no
other subsys-maintainers have had problems with listing him as
reporter / tester using his alias.

The Real Name only rule is part of "11) Sign your work — the
Developer’s Certificate of Origin" of :

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin

Which is all about the S-o-b tag. If you despite this still want
a new version with russianneuromancer's Reported-and-tested-by
dropped let me know and I will send a new version.

Hans
