Please read: Sections 12 and 13 of Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Granted, Acked-bys are used by Maintainers when reviewing changes in
subsystems they are responsible for.  However, that's not the sole use
of them.  Anyone can provide an Ack for code they have reviewed, but
are not an expert in.  Reviewed-bys have much stronger meaning and
should only be used if the supplier knows the code and the subsystem
well.  Please see SubmittingPatches for a full meaning of the
Reviewed-by tag.
