These were also sent by Benno, and in the issue he mentions
"re-sending", which usually means just adding your Signed-off-by below
his:

    https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250814093046.2071971-1-lossin@kernel.org/

But he also mentioned the Suggested-by tag etc., so it is probably OK
to keep authorship and add:
