S-o-b entries for bcm2708 SDHCI driver in the downstream R.Pi Linux kernel

(Sorry for the resend; I sent this to the wrong U-Boot mailing list the
first time around)

Dom, ddv2005, Gray,

I'm trying to get Signed-off-by lines for all code in the Raspberry Pi
Linux kernel trees related to the SDHCI driver (or just everything). The
list of relevant commits for SDHCI is below. Can you please check
Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the kernel source tree, and if you're
able to, provide your Signed-of-by lines for all of the patches I list
below that were either authored by you, or passed through you (the
latter I assume mainly in the case of Dom who applied these to git).

Related, do you know who the following person is: Grigori Goronzy
<greg at blackbox>; he's the author of at least one patch, but the email
address is invalid.

Dom, it'd be great if you could obtain the appropriate S-o-b lines from
all contributors to your kernel trees, then rebase these branches and
add the appropriate S-o-bs to all the patches. If in the future you make
sure that all the git metadata and S-o-b entries are present and valid
in all the commits (full name and valid email address), we won't have to
go back to people and validate this after the fact again.

Note: the patch list below is every patch that touches the driver. It
may be possible to analyze each patch and find only those that touched
the specific subset of code that Oleksandr used for U-Boot. I can give
that a try if getting S-o-bs for all the patches proves problematic. Of
course, that will then simply defer the issue until someone attempts to
upstream the whole downstream Linux SDHCI driver into the upstream Linux
kernel...

Thanks very much!

Are these actually all authored by who git says they are? I notice that
the two commits I called out above have a git authorship field of Dom
Cobley, even though the patch subject implies someone else wrote them.
