Just adding my Suggested-by is fine. If multiple people cooperate on one
patch, the Co-developed-by tag is needed. As a maintainer, I prefer to

You can't add Tested-by tag for your own patch. When you post patch,
testing it is your obligation.

Other than these tag adding concerns, this patch looks good to me. You
can post v4 to update and add my:
