Looks ok to me. I would only move the "[1]" line before the
"Signed-off-by" tag in the commit message and separate them by an empty
line. Some tooling might rely on the tags being separately at the end.
I guess this can be directly adjusted by a maintainer that picks up the
patch and there is no need to resend it.
