It sounds like you need to have all of the tags (except this one). :)
Reported-by: for reporting the issue
Suggested-by: for suggesting a resolution
Acked-by: for reviewing it
Tested-by: for testing it
Signed-off-by usually means you either wrote a significant amount of
the diffstat or you were part of the submission path.

In this instance I suggest keeping Reported-by and Tested-by.

I also think num_steps should be pre-initialised.
Then it will only be set if of_property_read_u32() succeeds.
