Is this derived from Jarkko's patch? If so, shouldn't he be listed as the author, not you? If it wasn't, then presumably his S-o-b line shouldn't be in the patch description.
I am sorry. I don't know the meaning of S-o-b's order.
It's not just the ordering, it's also the authorship information - signed off by has a specific meaning about who wrote the code and handing off responsibility for it which is important to licensing. Adding a signoff for someone who didn't write the code is therefore particularly problematic.
