The point is that you can NEVER write S-o-b for someone else, only for
yourself. Given the small contribution from me in this patch, the
following would be better ways to credit me:

1) Not bother since it's a tiny comment

2) In patch description:
(includes comment fixes from Stephen Warren)

3) In patch description final paragraph, before your S-o-b:
Based-on-work-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@...dia.com>

(although (3) isn't really appropriate here, since my contribution was
tiny compared to the overall patch, and came after the original patch
rather than being inspiration for it)
