checkpatch gives a warning on this patch:

WARNING: From:/Signed-off-by: email name mismatch: 'From: "Tim van der
Staaij | Zign" <Tim.vanderstaaij@...ngroup.com>' != 'Signed-off-by:
Tim van der Staaij <tim.vanderstaaij@...ngroup.com>'

Should it contain a Fixes tag so that it can be backported to older
stable-kernels?
