I am completely unexperienced, and something that complex was not expected to happen :-) so this is just to make sure I can handle it correctly if something like this happens again. In the case of PATCH v6 05/16 I removed the Reviewd-by: Bernd Edlinger since it is now somehow two authors and reviewing own code is obviously not ok, instead I added a Signed-off-by: Bernd Edlinger (and posted the whole series on Eric's behalf (after asking Eric's permissing per off-list e-mail, which probably ended in his spam folder) Is this having two Signed-off-by: for mutliple authors the correct way to handle a shared authorship? Thanks Bernd.
