Hi Greg,

Commits

2525ef557c73 ("staging: most: update driver usage file")
e7e3ce04588c ("staging: most: core: fix list traversing")

are missing a Signed-off-by from their author.

Ugh, I missed that. Christian, please be more careful.


Hmm, am I missing something here? I have it in.
Here are copies of the patches in question and both have
a "Signed-off-by" line in.

This patch fixes the offset and data handling when traversing
the list of devices that are attached to the bus.

Why is there no signed-off-by from Andrey?


Ah, his "Signed-off-by" is missing. Understood. Wasn't aware that
this is a prerequisite. Thought the patches need at least one
person that signs them off.

This is because we both develop on the driver. And I take the
patches from our internal gitlab server, prepare them and send
them upstream. And those two patches missed his Signed-off
obvioulsy.

Should I resend?

regards,
Chris
