Had to write this down to the paper to fully get it but yeah makes
sense (especially since I just truncated 4 KiB blocks to 1 KiB
in my doc update :-)) but yeah seems to be correct:


Reviewed-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@xxxxxxxxxx>

I guess that in this case I can give also tested-by since I actually
did test the formula (on paper):

Tested-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@xxxxxxxxxx>

As in general for tested-by's for patches I've sent or seen in
circulation there's bunch of convetions I've encountered so I do
agree that it is up to Herbert to decide the correct one.

BR, Jarkko
