Hi Chen,

I still want a patch where the From: and Signed-off-by: lines
are identical. Otherwise I won't take the patch.

Also you didn't answer my other question: did you actually
test that after your change the code still works?
If not, then I would have to do that.

The patch looks ok so far (besides two lines that could
be removed).

Thanks,
Heiko
