I'm not worried about authorship, so you're welcome to be the author on 
the patch - assuming Russell's happy with that and with the change of 
register naming in your patch below.

As this will go through Russell's tree (probably via has patch system), 
you don't need his Signed-off-by - It'll get added as he takes the 
patch. As you're signing off, too, you don't need to list yourself as 
reporting the problem.

It'll look a bit weird to have 3 people signing off on quite a little 
patch (4 once it goes through Russell's tree) so it's best to make some 
notes in the commit message about the way this patch was written (IE 
many authors)

Hope that helps,
Jonny
