OK, but you wrote the patch in the end.

Reviewed-by from Per would be more appropriate.

Signed-off-by means as much as "I certify that am the author of this patch" or
"This patch has gone through my hands and I know who the author is" (it implies
"Acked-by" in the latter case). None of these is the case here.

Thanks,
