Not being a regular reviewer on this list, I'm not sure I know the
subtle difference between 'Acked-by' and 'Reviewed-by' to know which one
I should be adding; but this patch resolves my objection on v1.

[Side note - POSIX actually requires:
tr a-z A-Z
to do the 26-letter case conversion, and that use of '[a-z]' means you
are transliterating 28 characters, by changing '[' and ']' to
themselves.  But on older Solaris tr, you had to provide the [] to get
range expansion rather than transliteration of a literal '-', so your
patch is the right approach for maximal portability]
