There are only a few official "....-by:" tags, but you can chose from the inofficial ones: Suggested-by: Originally-by: Original-patch-by: Requested-by: Original-idea-by: Based-on-patch-by: That's an incomplete list of already in-use tags, but one of those is probably sufficient. > 3) Jason, did you mean you would pull it to > http://git.infradead.org/users/jcooper/linux.git?

Though I'm a bit concerned about the amount of change involved. So it's simpler to do: Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # simple resolution will be sent in reply Then let the people who have this problem reply on that patch series with a simple revert of that generic_chip() conversion commit concering their particular subarchitecture instead of forcing a nightmare of complex (and maybe untested) changes onto stable.
