Nitpicking...

In the kernel the "Signed-off-by:" lines shall document the path of the patch
towards the kernel. So every time a patch passes a person, this person is supposed
to add a "Signed-off" to explicit say that:
"
    The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
    it.
"

So in other words - I had expected to see:
Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Andrey Smirnov <...>

And then, when Sasha apply the patch he adds a third "Signed-off".

I dunno how strong the rules are followed for barebox,
and you can also find many examples in the kernel where
the rules are not followed strict.
But in general this is how it is used.
