i did that also. reference : https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/2/473

and reply from Dan Carpenter at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/3/135

copying from reply of  Dan Carpenter:
"I really would prefer if you just figured out your email settings so
this isn't needed.  The From: header is mostly used for people
forwarding patches from other people.  We have allowed people to use
the From header like this if they can't get their corporate email
configured properly but I try to discorage it.  If everyone starts using
>From headers like this then it becomes a pain to deal with."

:(

for my next patches to you i will add the extra "From:" in the patch.
next is that pending one of korg1212.

thanks
