Yeah, I noticed that when preparing pull request, but did not want to
rebase the branch that I always keep stable, sorry.

The reason it got messed up is I switched to pulling patches from
patchwork.kernel.org as it collects Acked-by and Reviewed-by tags so I
do not have to add them manually, but unfortunately it does not do
proper UTF-8:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10431971/

I have since reworked by scripts to only take changelog from patchwork,
and take author name/email from the mail message and using "git
mailinfo" which worked well before. Should not happen again.

Thanks.
