It is just that there are several commits (not only this one) which I have
made before I introduced the new e-mail address (solely for u-boot purposes).
It might be easier if I just change the sign-off addresses back to <info@>
for those older patches. That's simple to do when I squash a correction anyway.

Or I let cat 00xxxxxx | sed s/info at emk/u-boot at emk/ | git send-email handle
that...
That will fix some older copyrights of mine that are reinhard.meyer at emk...,
too.

Reinhard
