This might not necessary make it to v4.15, it depends if Linus releases
the final v4.14 on Sunday or not.

Yup, I was waiting your comments.

I have documented this in the wiki:

Sure, I can add it. No need to resend.

And actually Arend should be able to add the tag automatically by
replying to the patch with his tag, patchwork would then pick it up and
add it when I apply the patch. To my knowledge patchwork supports
Acked-by, Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags.
