This is not the correct way to credit a co-author.

You are sending the patch, so your signoff should come last.

If Devaraj is a co-author of this work, you should add the following
lines *before* your signoff

Co-authored-by: Devaraj Rangasamy <Devaraj.Rangasamy@....com>
Signed-off-by: Devaraj Rangasamy <Devaraj.Rangasamy@....com>

If Devaraj is the sole author of this work, and you are just sending
it out, you should set the authorship on the patch to Devaraj (so it
will be From: Devaraj Rangasamy <Devaraj.Rangasamy@....com>)

Please regenerate the patch so that the rename is reflected in the diffstat.
