I think this Signed-off-by: line from Linu is new in v9. What happened?
I notice that Linu is listed as the driver author:
> +MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Marvell PEM Perf driver");
> +MODULE_AUTHOR("Linu Cherian <mailto:lcherian at marvell.com>");
but the patch author is you, so git blame will be inconsistent.
Please can you make sure that MODULE_AUTHOR and the patch author are
consistent, and then use Co-developed-by as well as the additional SoB
for the second author?
Had this discussed internally. I will change the MODULE_AUTHOR to myself and add the
tags as suggested.
