Thanks, nice catch

Checkpatch complains:
ERROR: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author 'Zhangjiantao (Kirin, nanjing) <water.zhangjiantao@...wei.com>'

Is Zhangjiantao (Kirin, nanjing)  the correct author? If yes can I add 
"Signed-off-by: Zhangjiantao (Kirin, nanjing) <water.zhangjiantao@...wei.com>?

I'll add the stable and correct fixes tags for this.

Thanks
Mathias
