Although do remember that U-Boot uses S-o-b differently to how the Linux
kernel uses it, based on our recent discussions. For U-Boot, it's
apparently only about original authorship and/or changes to the
patches, whereas for the kernel, people who handle the patch without
changes (i.e. apply it to a git tree) also sign the patch off.

Equally, since this code was derived from Linux kernel source, we should
track down who wrote that and get them to sign it off too.
