Thanks for clarifying...

Under "Changes since v1" I have clarified what suggestions I have
taken from Gray.

Gray insist that I use "Co-developed-by:" so I have posted v3 with
"Co-developed-by:". Honestly, I don't mind "Signed-off-by: " or
"Co-developed-by:" as long as I am acknowledging other person's
efforts.
