Hi Kaaira, Thank you for the patches.

I think this is really nice work, as it will make the vimc driver even more useful for testing purposes. I however just noticed that the patches seem to have lost Niklas' authorship. Niklas posted v1 ([1]), and while there's absolutely no issue with taking over a patch series (especially when the original author is aware of that, and approves :-)), it's customary to keep the original authorship. Authorship, as recorded in the commit's "Author:" field (displayed by "git show" or "git log" for instance), is distinct from Signed-off-by. The original Signed-off-by line needs to be preserved to indicate the original author's commitment to the certificate of origin ([2]), but in itself that doesn't acknowledge original authorship of the code. I'm sure this is an oversight. Authorship can easily be changed with the --author option to "git commit --amend". $ git show -s commit 8be3a53e18e0e1a98f288f6c7f5e9da3adbe9c49 (HEAD -> tmp) Merge: fc10807db5ce 3c597282887f Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 24 17:39:30 2020 -0700 Merge tag 'erofs-for-5.8-rc3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs Pull erofs fix from Gao Xiang: "Fix a regression which uses potential uninitialized high 32-bit value unexpectedly recently observed with specific compiler options" * tag 'erofs-for-5.8-rc3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs: erofs: fix partially uninitialized misuse in z_erofs_onlinepage_fixup $ git commit --amend --author 'Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>' [tmp 6a7191c2aee9] Merge tag 'erofs-for-5.8-rc3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs Date: Wed Jun 24 17:39:30 2020 -0700 $ git show -s commit 6a7191c2aee9e4a2ba375f14c821bc9b4d7f881b (HEAD -> tmp) Merge: fc10807db5ce 3c597282887f Author: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 24 17:39:30 2020 -0700 Merge tag 'erofs-for-5.8-rc3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs Pull erofs fix from Gao Xiang: "Fix a regression which uses potential uninitialized high 32-bit value unexpectedly recently observed with specific compiler options" * tag 'erofs-for-5.8-rc3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs: erofs: fix partially uninitialized misuse in z_erofs_onlinepage_fixup Not that I would try to take ownership of a commit authored by Linus, I doubt he would appreciate that :-) Authorship is normally preserved through git-format-patch, git-send-email and git-am: - git-format-patch sets the "From:" line to the patch's author - If the "From:" line is different than the mail sender, git-send-email replaces it with the sender's identity (as we don't want to forge e-mails with an incorrect sender). It then adds the original "From:" line *inside* the mail, just after the headers, right before the body of the commit message. - git-am sets the author to the "From:" line from the e-mail's body if it exists, and uses the "From:" line from the e-mail's header (the sender's identity) otherwise. If you use those tools authorship should get preserved automatically. Of course new patches that you would add to the series should have your authorship. I hope this helps clarifying the process, please let me know if you have any question.
