This patch is reuse of a patch by Jon Medhurst tixy@linaro.org with a few bits left out.
Then probably he must be the author of this commit? Also a SOB is required from him here.
I don't know what the correct procedure is for this sort of partial patch reuse. Since I didn't know better, I adopted Tixy's own reference style that he used in one of his patches which is an extension of a previous patch by me. I will of course fix it to follow normal procedure if there is one.
AFAIK, if you have used only some part of the earlier patch, then you just need to add an SOB of original author. But if you have picked most of the stuff from original patch, which i feel is the case here, you must have original author in author & SOB + your SOB.
It would be very easy to blame someone else here... :) I will fix it.
