Either way will work.

Thanks!

p.s. I took another look at the patches, and noticed one issue that is
constantly there: you place your signed-off-by line on top of everyones',
but that's wrong. Sign offs are going downwards, not upwards. This is
quite important since the lines encode how the code "travels" between
companies and submitters. Currently, one might assume that the origin of
the code is always Linaro, which is not quite true. (And 'From:' doesn't
always mean the author, fwiw.)
