If you fetch the mbox from patchwork at

    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1009811/mbox/

it contains:

-------- 8< --------
v2
Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <[email-masked]>
---
int -> u32 in platform data structure

Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <[email-masked]>
---
[diffstat]
-------- 8< --------

That's 3 dashes instead of the 2 from your mail. If you "git am" that,
the sign-off and actual history will get chopped off.

Maybe Stephen's script to detect those missing sign-offs could be run
as a commit/apply hook by David? This happens regularly, sometimes
dropping more than just a sign-off.
