Sure, no problem. Mistakes happen (I make a lot of them too), just learn
from them.

Javier explained what was the proper way to do this - retain original
author of the patch. Your signed-off-by was correct.

In fact the kernel SubmittingPatches is worth reading from time to time:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
Under chapter 11th ("Sign your work") in paragraph starting with "If you
are a subsystem or branch maintainer" - it explains how to mention
changes when modifying someone's else patch.

You can also look at example from Bartlomiej, how hge did this when he
took Thomas' patches:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/3/387
However his case is kind of special because he made such a lot of
changes and made such huge effort that in my humble opinion he could
take the authorship of patch. But in this case the changelog is huge.
And he tested it. Extensively. However he did not change the author of
patches :) and you can just look at this work as an example.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
