Hi,

first of all thank you for your contribution. The issue here is that a
"Signed-off-by:" is not to give credit but at least in the classic sense
gives the origin (route of the patch to the tree).

In case you want to give credit you can use it in the commit message,
lile this patch is based on work of... or if it is fully written by
someone else use the --author on git commit.

happy hacking
