No need, this is what .mailmap is for. It seems there are quite a few
variations, I've added entries now for all of:

	Archit Taneja <archit@xxxxxx>
	Mayuresh Janorkar <mayur@xxxxxx>
	Mythri P K <mythripk@xxxxxx>
	Sumit Semwal <sumit.semwal@xxxxxx>

which traps all of the offenders in these patches. There seems to be a
general issue of author names and sign-offs using reverse order naming, I
assume because this is some absurd convention used by TI's mail servers.

We can of course continue fixing them up as they pop up, but people
should ideally be aware of the need for consistency before committing
things, too. A bit of name mangling is certainly a lesser evil than
rewriting history, though.

Seemed pretty straightforward, I took care of it and made sure that it
still built. I assume Tony or someone will yell loudly if I've
inadvertently broken something :-)

Pulled now. I'll send things off to Linus shortly.
