Hey Markus,
This patch seems to be a part of a series without being marked as
such, this causes issues when importing this patch with maintainer
tools like b4 which automatically pull in the entire series and not
just the specific patch. Either label the patch as being part of a
series ( [PATCH 1/XX] ), or submit it separately.

The email in the Signed-off tag should match the email of the sender,
which it doesn't.
With the two above issues fixed, please add my r-b.
