Bjorn, I've inherited the gcc driver from downstream and did some modification.
But I'm not sure if I can take the authorship of this patch hence kept it to the
downstream author.

In my point of view, the downstream author wrote the driver so I should keep
the copyright and even list them as MODULE_AUTHOR. But I don't think I should
give the patch authorship to them because I haven't received the patch anyhow.
I usually keep the authorship if I take the patch from a source like LKML and
repost it. But in this case, I authored the patch using someone's code!

What is your view on this?

Thanks,
Mani
