Actually, this one is not OK.  Anyone who handles a patch needs to add a
Signed-off-by.  In the case below, that patch was commited to the tree
by Guan Xuetao <gxt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, so there needs to be a
Signed-off-by from them as well.

The same is true for all the commits in the unicore32 tree ...
