Hi Randy,

Thanks for the feedback!

OK, so my plan is to add the following MODULE_AUTHOR() statements:

	MODULE_AUTHOR("Antmicro <contact@...micro.com>");
	MODULE_AUTHOR("Kamil Rakoczy <krakoczy@...micro.com>");
	MODULE_AUTHOR("Maciej Dudek <mdudek@...ernships.antmicro.com>");
	MODULE_AUTHOR("Paul Mackerras <paulus@...abs.org>");
	MODULE_AUTHOR("Gabriel Somlo <gsomlo@...il.com>");

Antmicro folks: Kamil, Maciej, Mateusz, Karol: I'm not exactly clear
on how you all prefer to be credited but I could either:

	1. leave just the first line for Antmicro-the-company, with the
	   "contact@..." email instead of the website URL, or

	2. leave just the developer lines (Kamil and Maciej), or

	3. leave all three lines as currently shown above.

I'll queue that up for v3, once I hear back from you.

Done, and also queued up for v3.

Thanks again,
