What does this mean ? The first line makes it clear that you want to assign 
copyright ownership to Renesas for the work you've done on this driver. The 
second line, however, isn't very clear. If you want to list your e-mail 
address as an author or contact person, you should make that explicit:

 * Author: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com>

or

 * Contact: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com>

Or it could be that you have joint copyright ownership with Renesas, or own 
parts of the copyright yourself, in which case it should be

 * Copyright (c) 2017 Renesas Solutions Corp.
 * Copyright (c) 2017 Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com>
