While looking into his commits, I believe the SOB in this patch is one
of the ways he uses to sign:
commit f99c1d4f94f91fd3a20bd2eaa3be9c5e7d2668eb
Author: Keerthy <j-keerthy@...com>
Date:   Tue Mar 1 19:12:26 2011 +0530

    mfd: Add twl4030 madc driver

    Introducing a driver for MADC on TWL4030 powerIC. MADC stands for monitoring
    ADC. This driver monitors the real time conversion of analog signals like
    battery temperature, battery cuurent etc.

    Signed-off-by: Keerthy <j-keerthy@...com>
    Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@...ux.intel.com>

So, I'd prefer to keep the way it is.
