It's always nice to get the original author's sign-off, but if you can certify what's stated in the DCO1.1 (from Documentation/SubmittingPatches) then just adding your sign-off is fine. Please still keep the original authorship in that case, and no need to add a Based-on-patch-by line.

Thanks, Jonathan
