As an IBM employee who has an FSF copyright assignment on file,
you don't need this line.  Unless you are specifically intending to
contribute this patch via DCO (which is what you are doing when you add
the "Signed-off-by: ..." line) and not via the normal FSF copyright
assignment process IBMer's have always contributed under?
