Just a note on the signed-off-by: it's a bit weird to have Ram's
signoff when he is neither the author nor the sender of the patch.
The author is assumed to be Claudio; if that is not correct then the
patch should have a From: line at the start telling us who the author
is, and ideally that person should have a signoff line before
Claudio's signoff as the sender of the patch.

Paul.
