Well, the fix is yours, so, it should be "From: you." I can certainly send 
it just copying your description above, but I'd also need your Sob. 
Something like the below (feel free to improve the subject line and the 
description):

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon at arm.com>
Subject: [PATCH] ARM: sh7372: fix cache clean / invalidate order

According to the Cortex A8 TRM the L2 cache should be first cleaned and 
then disabled. Fix the swapped order on sh7372.
