I fixed this manually:

$ scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-tpm-fix-reference-counting-for-struct-tpm_chip.patch
WARNING: From:/Signed-off-by: email address mismatch: 'From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@kunbus.com>' != 'Signed-off-by: Lino Sanfilippo <LinoSanfilippo@gmx.de>'

Changed "From:" to sob address.

It's now in

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git

and should appear to linux-next.

BR, Jarkko
