Now, this is interesting. The patch email has no mention of
jirislaby at kernel.org.

However, .mailmap in kernel source root has line:

Jiri Slaby <jirislaby at kernel.org> <jslaby at suse.cz>

indicating that you prefer jirislaby at kernel.org. When I apply the patch,
git am looks that up, and sets:

Author: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby at kernel.org>

With that, we end up with an Author/Signed-off-by mismatch.

If you prefer Jiri Slaby <jirislaby at kernel.org>, I think you should have
that in git config too.


BR,
Jani.
