Your From: name and Signed-off-by: name is not matching.
But why you are using this extra From: line? you email header From:
is same as your Signed-off-by.

And since you are adding new files it would be better if you can fix
few checkpatch warnings it has. like:

CHECK: Prefer kzalloc(sizeof(*ipdev)...) over kzalloc(sizeof(struct physmem_ion_dev)...)
CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis
CHECK: No space is necessary after a cast
CHECK: Please don't use multiple blank lines
