Thanks one more time. Funny thing, but at the very beginning I had
Signed-of-by as the first line. Then I looked at 'git log' and spoted
different order, so I change mine as well. Ahhh. But this chronological
order of course make sense. So if you feel ok with this 'out of order'
issue, please push/merge this commit. If not, please let me know. I
already submitted version 5 of that work. So if change is required, I
will prepare version 6.
