Is this patch confidential or GPL? You can't submit patches with a
notice like this.

No this patch is not confidential. I am sending this patch with
appropriate permissions from APM.

The signature doesn't tell anyone that. There are several examples of
the same thing:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb at vger.kernel.org/msg11135.html
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/22/147

Of course, there's probably many examples with patches accepted anyway
by less attentive maintainers.

Actually, we at APM cannot disable this footer (which is a default
setting) so please ignore it.

Which is one reason why people don't use their corporate email.

Let me try to use my personal email from next patch onwards if APM folks
allow me to do that.
