No.

   Mailfrom: Jiqian Chen <Jiqian.Chen@amd.com>
   <body>

   Changelog-text

   Signed-off-by: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com>
   Signed-off-by: Jiqian Chen <Jiqian.Chen@amd.com>

is equally wrong because that would end up with Chen as author and Huang
as first S-O-B which is required to be the author's S-O-B

To make the above correct this would require:

   Mailfrom: Jiqian Chen <Jiqian.Chen@amd.com>
   <body>

   From: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com>

   Changelog-text

   Signed-off-by: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com>
   Signed-off-by: Jiqian Chen <Jiqian.Chen@amd.com>

   which tells that Huang is the author and Chen is the 'transporter',
   which unfortunately does not reflect reality.

Or:

   Mailfrom: Jiqian Chen <Jiqian.Chen@amd.com>
   <body>

   Changelog-text

   Co-developed-by: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com>
   Signed-off-by: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com>
   Signed-off-by: Jiqian Chen <Jiqian.Chen@amd.com>

   which tells that Checn is the author and Huang co-developed the
   patch, which might be true or not.


V1 which was sent by Huang has the ordering is correct:

   Mailfrom: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com>
   <body>

   From: Jiqian Chen <Jiqian.Chen@amd.com>

   Changelog-text

   Signed-off-by: Jiqian Chen <Jiqian.Chen@amd.com>
   Signed-off-by: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com>

   i.e. Chen authored and Huang transported

Now this V2 has not really much to do with V1 and is a new
implementation to solve the problem, which was authored by Chen, so
Huang is not involved at all if I understand correctly.

So what does his S-O-B mean here? Nothing...

It's very well documented how the whole S-O-B business works and it's
not really rocket science to get it straight.

It has a meaning and is not just for decoration purposes.

Thanks,
