It's a gray area and depends on who's code is more prevalent in the
patch.  If Tingwei wrote the most of the code then his name is in the
"from:" section, yours as co-developer and he signs off on it (as I
suggested).  If you did most of the work then it is the opposite.
Adding a Co-developed and a signed-off with the same name doesn't make
sense.

And you still sent me the patch...  I usually run checkpatch before
all the submissions I review and flatly ignore patches that return
errors.  You got lucky...
