Its good but not enough since after applying the patch e.g. via "git am"
you would be noted and saved in the U-Boot git history as the author of
this patch. And this is wrong since Aaron is the original author of this
patch.

To add Aaron as author please insert a "From Aaron.." line as first line
in your patch description.

Thanks,
Stefan
