As I said, I haven't posted those yet.

So far as I can remember (I haven't checked) your patch was defective and
I considered that to be a complete rewrite.

That was credited and cc'd to <jaswinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> which maybe isn't the
best address to use.  Well, now that I look again, it appears that I forgot to
cc you on the final version which was accepted.  I'm sorry about that.

I don't copy Signed-off-by if I make significant changes as the original
author should not be held responsible for any errors.  I'll be happy to
ask for your S-o-b before submitting a patch based on your work in future.
