You should add a SOB for every patch you add to your published tree.
That includes cherry-picked commits from other trees.

By the way, most maintainers (and Linus and I) are pretty adept at
sorting out merge conflicts (unless they are really complex, or course,
in which case you should probably have created a branch in one fo the
trees containing the conflicting commits from that tree and then merge
that branch into the both trees - and, of course, noted what is
happening in the merge commits).
