Yes, because it sounds like he was the author of the original patch.
Btw, you should read

Documentation/SubmittingPatches

and sections 11 - "Sign your work" up until 14, in particular. That
should clear things up for ya.

No one said hw people can name stuff properly.

My thing is catching sloppiness in patches.

No, I think you should add that bit to init_scattered_cpuid_features()

And btw, those Intel QoS single bit defines and the XSAVE stuff there
should move to that function too - that's a pure waste having them in
the cap_flags array. I'll fix that.
