When this patch was posted in v6:

The authorship was credited to Chun Feng Wu, and also had
their signed-off-by.
If picking up someone else's work, normally the git "Author" should
be left unchanged, only the "Comitter" record changes (automatically)
to your name.
Similarly the existing Signed-Off-By should be left intact, with your
own Signed-Off-By just appended, ideally with an initialed note about
what you altered from the original patch. eg the end of the commit
would look like this:
Signed-off-by: Chun Feng Wu <danielwuwy(a)163.com>
[HR: changed blah, blah & blah ]
Signed-off-by: Harikumar Rajkumar <harirajkumar230(a)gmail.com>
Same applies to pretty much every patch in this series which were
all creditted to Chun Feng Wu previously.
With regards,
Daniel
Thank you for letting us know about this sign-off process. We will follow this process for
the next patch submission. Would you like me to submit a new patch with this sign-off fix?
