There can be only one author in a patch, and multiple signers if needed:

Author: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@...aro.org>
Date:   Wed Oct 30 14:31:24 2019 +0530

    mtd: spi-nor: Add support for w25q256jw
[cut]
    Signed-off-by: Darshak Patel <darshak.patel@...fochips.com>
    [Mani: cleaned up for upstream]
    Signed-off-by: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@...aro.org>

Please read
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.3/process/submitting-patches.html, paragraph
11), and tell me if you want me to amend the author to keep Darshak's authorship
or you want to keep yours.
