You should still have recieved authorship credit instead of Pavel.  It's
a newbie mistake which I have made myself.  Pavel, use the From: header
to give authorship credit.  It goes on the first line of the email.

Did you send it to the correct list?  This patch should have gone to
linux-media@...r.kernel.org.  I see now that they are not CC'd.  Please
resend it to the correct list.

I was the public static code checker and I sent the bug report from my
@oracle.com email address.  Please, give me a Reported-by credit since
you are resending this patch anyway.
