No problem.

Actually there is a room for interpretation.

>From my point of view Suggested-by can be used in the following cases:
- idea came from other person
- the implementation of something is heavily based on other person's
view (usually with provided code samples)

In the patch which converts to use specific API idea was mine, but
here I just reviewed one small part of the code, while idea is
completely yours IIUC.

Of course, you are free to give a credit if you would like to do so,
just be little more specific.
