Not quite. Please look at Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

If Parthiban and Saravanan haven't authored anything in this patch,
then drop them from the SoB list. If they have contributed to the
patch (which I expect), then their SoB must be preceded by their own
Co-developed-by: tag. To sum it up, it probably should look like:

Co-developed-by: Parthiban Nallathambi <pn@denx.de>
Signed-off-by: Parthiban Nallathambi <pn@denx.de>
Co-developed-by: Saravanan Sekar <sravanhome@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Saravanan Sekar <sravanhome@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Cristian Ciocaltea <cristian.ciocaltea@gmail.com>

This is of course an assumption, and you should check it with the
individuals above.

Thanks,

         M.
