Download the raw patch from lore.kernel.org, apply it with "git am", fix up the commit message with "git commit --amend", add your "Signed-off-by" below the existing one, submit with "git-send-email" or "git format-patch" + "msmtp".

That way the commit author remains the same because "git format-patch" includes a "From:" line in the message body which "git am" will interpret as the commit author when the maintainer applies the patch.

Your Signed-off-by is necessary to keep the DCO chain intact: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-pa...

However, that is now done: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/086b426f44bc24360cc89476fe18d...

Thank you for the report.
