There can be only one author in a patch, and multiple signers if needed:
Author: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed Oct 30 14:31:24 2019 +0530
mtd: spi-nor: Add support for w25q256jw

Please read
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.3/process/submitting-patches.html, paragraph
11), and tell me if you want me to amend the author to keep Darshak's authorship
or you want to keep yours.
