Linus,

> You added an extra revert, only to pull in the *exact* same patch. WTF?

The patch I reverted had a broken, typoed Signed-off. My rationale was
to have only a proper one, and not two different ones coming from
different trees. Looks like I misjudged, sorry.

I see your point.

Understood. Peter joined as co-maintainer kind of recently, and I guess
it shows that I didn't have to pass on merges a lot so far. It is not
that I ignored your preferences for merges (which make total sense to
me), I just missed to check how to properly do it. Will improve!
