When I made those changes, I don't think an authorship assertion for copyright purposes was appropriate for the entire .c file (the FSF have some guidelines for this IIRC). It would also be strange for me or Eric to suddenly introduce a (c) Linaro (or ARM, not sure who my employer was at the time) at this point, so I think we can just leave this as proposed by Eric.
