JFYI, the SOB chain is a bit messed up here, the proper chain would be:

 Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>
 Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>
 Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

This shows that the patch started out as your effort as a developer, then 
Tony enhanced it and passed it to you as maintainer.

See for example this commit for an example:

  7675104990ed ("sched: Implement lockless wake-queues")

Note that this pattern also signals the co-developed portion, so that tag 
can be dropped - but it can be kept too for extra clarity.

Thanks,
