Okay... So, my contact at Creative gave me an email as the 'sign-off party' for firmware submission. As far as I'm aware, sign-offs also need names attached, correct? So I'll ask for that. However, they still want me to send it.
Will that be okay? Would you be more comfortable if I get you in contact with someone at Creative,Josh?
It is common for someone to sign-off on a patch, but have someone else send it. Having their Signed-off-by: <person> in the commit log is OK.

I apologize for being kind of difficult, I'm doing what I can. Let me know what I need to do, and I'll do my best.
Thanks, Connor. On Sun, Nov 4, 2018 at 1:00 AM Connor McAdams conmanx360@gmail.com wrote:
Okay, just got a response from the guy at Creative. He said they'll try to sort it out this week. Just a heads up. :) On Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 12:22 PM Connor McAdams conmanx360@gmail.com wrote:
Understood. I will see what I can do. I already had them contact Takashi, but I will ask if they're willing to give a sign-off. If they're having trouble, is it okay to have them contact you Josh?
Let me know. On Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 9:44 AM Josh Boyer jwboyer@kernel.org wrote:

linux-firmware: Add new firmware for Creative CA0132 HD-Audio Codec (2018-10-09 14:41:12 -0400)
These are additional firmware files for CA0132 based sound cards.
Creative has given me permission through email to send these to the linux-firmware repository under the same license as the previous ca0132 firmware. I asked my contact if they would sign-off on it, but they said to go ahead and submit it and that if there was any issue to contact them.
If you need to contact them, or if there's more info needed, let me know and I can get see what I can do.
I'd really like to see a Sign-off from someone at Creative. It's not that I don't trust your word that they agreed to it, but we have nothing to go back and verify they actually agreed to allow this to be redistributable, etc.

Please can anyone take a look at this pull request?
It's mandatory for the CA0132-based cards that are now supported better in the upstream kernel tree.
Thanks!
