>> Could you take the GSOC patch, and submit it as your own patch? You seem to have the best luck with it. Remember to add this line to the email: submitted-by: Amadeusz Sławiński <amade at asmblr.net>. The original author told me it is ok to use his patches.

The original author must add the Signed-off-by: line. Then you could
add for example Tested-by: tag.
