Hello,

I'm the author of that commit and the missing Signed-off-by is not intentional but
due to a mistake I made. I used the string "------------" in the commit message and
git interpreted it as "drop everything from here onwards", including the
Signed-off-by.

According to the maintainer's preference, I agree to either them adding

  Signed-off-by: Giovanni Gherdovich <ggherdovich@...e.cz>

or to resend them the patch with a better commit message if they prefer.


Sorry for the inconvenience,
Giovanni Gherdovich
