It's a bit odd to include my s-o-b here when I didn't actually write
this particular patch. No doubt it's included because I wrote an
identical patch for arch/arm/.

Rather than including my s-o-b here, perhaps simply including the
following paragraph in the commit decription would be better:

This patch ports most of commit 19ab428f4b79 "ARM: 7759/1: decouple CPU
offlining from reboot/shutdown" by Stephen Warren from arch/arm to
arch/arm64.

Or, I sometimes use the following tag instead of s-o-b:

Based-on-work-by: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

Including two s-o-b for yourself probably isn't necesary.

Do you need to include an equivalent of the following from my original
patch to arch/arm/?
