[Severity: High]
Both the Author field and the Signed-off-by trailer use the single-word
handle "xujiahao" instead of a full real name. Per
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, the Developer's Certificate of
Origin requires signing off with a full human name (for example, "Jiahao
Xu").
[Severity: Low]
This fixes a false-positive warning in drm_fbdev_shmem_helper_fb_dirty().
Should the commit message include a Fixes: trailer?
Fixes: 150f431a0831 ("drm/fbdev: Add fbdev-shmem")
Fixes: f0f195d1a3ae ("drm/fbdev-shmem: Support struct drm_driver.fbdev_probe")
