The authorship of this patch looks to be wrong. Maybe it's a tooling issue. I imagine it might have happened if Maxime created the patches using `git format-patch` with his @bootlin.com address, then sent them with his @kernel.org address, and `git send-email` swapped out the "From:" header and prepended it to the body.
No idea. In any case it's kind of hard to fix at this point since there's a merge in the way. This is why I like using branches for things but Linus doesn't :/
Either way the "From:" line looks odd in the commit log.
This is what git format-patch does when sending stuff via e-mail if the author is different from the sender, it uses that to override things.
