get_maintainers *should* also tell you to use @kernel.org, that's what's actually in MAINTAINERS (which should be preferred over git history, or both used) which is where I actually read upstream mail.
Then the problem is that you committed and signed off with linaro.org address in git. If you don't want receive any patches at this
It's getting more common these days, companies want their address to end up in git but it's not so good for upstream mail for whatever reason (historically a lot of it has been Exchange related, though that's not the case for me). It's more noticable for people applying patches than for people sending them.
address, you should never use it for git. As a Netiquette, one shouldn't post a mail to multiple addresses if it's known for the same person.
Sure, but if you're going to use one I'd expect the MAINTAINERS address to win - I did have someone the other day using my Wolfson address still since they were going off signoffs and the thing they were working on wasn't that actively developed.
