We also need SOB from Mitsuhiro and Masaru.

    Hmm, it's the first time I encounter such requirement.

I think this is normal policy.  I have seen it more than once on lkml.
The reason for the author's SOB is to make sure that he or she is
really authorized (like from the employer) to contribute the driver.

   We (Cogent Embedded) are authorized to do this, isn't this enough?

Dave, is that correct?

I refuse to apply any patch without an appropriate signoff.

But what do you mean by "appropriate signoff"? I have provided mine but Richard insists there should be sign-offs from the primary driver authors -- it's the first time I'm encountering such a requirement.

WBR, Sergei
