My general recommendation is that whenever authorship  is not 100% obvious,
then the changelog comment should explain in free form who did what. When
you do that, please leave my Signed-off-by intact and put it on top.
You can also (in addition to explaining it in the text) add an
explanantion behind
the address, such as

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de> # earlier draft

I'll try to get around to do a full review of the series later today.
