You must never do this!

I did not put my Signed-off-by: on the patch I sent to you.  I do not 
want it added to that patch or to this one.  You should never put 
somebody else's Signed-off-by: on a patch unless they tell you it's okay 
to do so.

I'm happy to have people test this patch, but I do not want anybody 
think that it is ready to be merged into the kernel.

What's the point of adding a new function that just calls the old 
function?  Why not simply rename the old function?
