Oh, where to begin... sigh...

The "off" and "by" in "Signed-off-by" is not capitalized.

There should not be two spaces after the Signed-off-by colon, there
should be only one.

There should be a space between your name and your <> enclosed email
address.

Your email client corrupted the patch by splitting up this line.

This is all just being sloppy, and it shows a lack of care put
into your submission.

Nevertheless I'm a sucker and I fixed this all up and applied your
patch.
