You've done something wrong here. The sign-off line below says its
signed off by Kelvin, who was the original author (on the github repo)
but the From: line indicates you were the author. Also, please start
using 'git send-email' as your patches are being mangled by your email
client.

We also need a Signed-off-by from you. Anyone who handled the patch
needs to sign off on it.

At least for the contents of the changes, modulo the above fixes:
