This is a short series that adds Helped-by tag to the list of accepted
tags in scripts/checkpatch.pl, and describes the intended use of this new
tag in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.
The proposed Helped-by tag fits well to indicate someone had helped with
the development of a patch, to the level that doesn't warrant providing
a Co-developed-by tag, but is much more than it would've been indicated
by providing a Suggested-by tag.
Changes in v2:
- Changed into a small patch series
- Added a patch that describes the intended use of proposed Helped-by
tag to Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, to hopefully
help with accepting this new tag, and to make its intended use more
clear, as suggested by Chen-Yu [1]
- Added a patch that reflows a bit one short paragraph in the same
documentation file mentioned above
