Joe, I think you know that I'll pick up on your mis-spelling of my
name... and I take that as an implicit right to call you something
other than your proper name. :D

Secondly, because the Cc contained my name, I fail to see how you can
confuse that with a mailing list. Maybe your script that you mentioned
strips the names from the email addresses, thereby adding to your
confusion - and maybe that isn't such a good idea after all? I'm not
the only one who uses linux@... There are six people in total listed in
MAINTAINERS who have a linux@... email address there.

The developers in question for this part of the code is me and not the
CCF. Therefore, what has been done by the patch author is reasonable
and no special scripts are necessary.

While my main git server is offline, I'm happy for the CCF folk
to pick this up, so:

Michael, please resubmit with my r-b line above, and include the CCF
folk in that posting:

Michael Turquette <mturquette@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Stephen Boyd <sboyd@xxxxxxxxxx>
linux-clk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks!
