Sorry, my fault: I must have misunderstood how to use the Signed-off-by
stuff.

The story here is that I took a patch originally developed by Juri and
fixed and I heavily modified it. Since the current patch is very
different from the original one, Juri suggested I should by the "From:"
author, and I simply added his Signed-off-by to acknowledge that he was
the author of the original patch.

If Juri is ok with your change, I agree with it.
