Depends on how much you've changed things compared to Mehdi's version.
If you've mostly kept what Mehdi did, then I guess you should keep him
as the author of the commits (i.e the Author: field of the git commit +
the first Signed-off-by), and add your Signed-off-by underneath.

If you've made very significant changes to the point where the code
isn't really Mehdi's code anymore, but just inspired, then you should
set yourself as the author (Author: field of the git commit + the first
Signed-off-by), and credit Mehdi via a Co-developed-by: tag.

In any case, thanks a lot for this pushing this work, much appreciated!

Thomas
