So, please find someone who will sign-off your patch. I won't.
What's so hard to understand about that? Do I _have_ to sign off all patches
random people send to me?
I do _not_ want to be made responsible for that patch by signing it off.
It is as simple as that.
And I officially do not care about bcm43xx since a year and a half anymore.
So why should I ACK it or sign it off?
