First, I'd like to state that this work has not been based on your
dynamic LUT code, and I actually asked you to adapt your code to match
the way we were handling it in the new driver (which at that time was
still under development). Then, even if you want to be cited as one of
the author of the new code, SoB tag is not the right way to do it (see
[1] for an explanation on when SoB should be added). Instead, you
should add your name in the copyright header and maybe be add a
MODULE_AUTHOR():

/*
 * Copyright ...
 * ...
 * Authors:
 *	...
 *	Yogesh Narayan Gaur <yogeshnarayan.gaur@xxxxxxx>
 */

...

MODULE_AUTHOR("Yogesh Narayan Gaur <yogeshnarayan.gaur@xxxxxxx>");

Boris
