But, if you look at what I wrote here: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200107195606.GM29542@xxxxxxx you'll see the From: Lei Wang <leiwang_git@xxxxxxxxxxx> which is the last From: in the mail and that is taken by git as the author of the patch. However, if I apply this mail of yours, it will make you the author. Because in git there can be only one author per patch and other authors can be additionally accredited with the Co-developed-by: tag from the same doc I was pointing at before: Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst Looking at this driver, however, you have supplied three authors. And I think you guys need to discuss it amongst yourselves who is going to be the author of this driver in the git history. If there are more questions, I'm pretty sure Sasha would be glad to explain to you how the whole authorship thing works and what the implications are. Thx. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette
