It's always nice to get the original author's sign-off, but if you can
certify what's stated in the DCO1.1 (from
Documentation/SubmittingPatches) then just adding your sign-off is
fine.  Please still keep the original authorship in that case, and no
need to add a Based-on-patch-by line.

Thanks,
Jonathan
