I ignore checkpatch for things like this. It doesn't have a foggiest
clue to what is standard. The only standard we truly have that counts
is "Signed-off-by", as that's partially a legal thing. Everything else
is info only.

This patch was based on a idea by Pádraig Brady and Namhyung is giving
him credit.

Hmm, since I do not believe that Pádraig sent a patch, but only
suggested the idea, the more "standard" tag, and actually more
appropriate tag would be:

Suggested-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>

Also, we probably should add:

Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1427329943-16896-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org

Which has more of a history for this patch.
