I'm not an author of this patch, but I can explain that: Julian and Fabian are students of mine and as part of classwork they are supposed to submit a patch to the linux kernel. Since we require our students to work in groups of two and to collaborate on producing and submitting the patch, we also strongly urge them to submit with two signed-off-by-lines to properly attribute the patch to both students. I hope this doesn't cause any confusion or misbehaving tools or anything.
