ok, thanks for the background, but still, squashing doesn't mean changing
authorship and Christian has probably also warned you beforehand :-)

"(Note: In some of the patches the "Author" in the commits is dissent1! So
  watch out before sending them off)"

From the kernel docs[1]:

"The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my
 knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the
 right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether
 created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless
 I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file;"

so in short, kernel is covered by GPLv2 which allows you to do this if you
retain the authorship.
