Hi,

I guess this is more a question for the experienced patch submitters.
My cheat sheet points to
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.10/process/submitting-patches.html

The code change is trivial enough that i do not claim authorship.
So how about

  Suggested-by: Thomas Schmitt <scdbackup@xxxxxxx>

I found the bug and suggested an obvious fix.

The most kernel merit i can claim is that i grepped through the kernel
sources for callers of iso_date() and found them all ready for the change
of result type.
So maybe

  Co-developed-by: Thomas Schmitt <scdbackup@xxxxxxx>
  Signed-off-by: Thomas Schmitt <scdbackup@xxxxxxx>

But on the other hand you should verify my claims in 0000-cover-letter.patch
before posting your patch. A year has passed since i did my research and
testing.
So my statements create not more authorship than a detailed bug report would
do.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
