You certainly *can* add it, but it's a judgment call on whether you
should. In this case, you were only making cosmetic changes (commit
message and comments, requested by reviewers) between versions, so IMO
that's totally fine. If there are more substantial changes between
versions, it may be better to skip it, and let the reviewer re-review.
Sometimes a reviewer might even explicitly say, "with changes X and Y,
consider this Reviewed-by: foo <foo@....tld>", which is a pretty
strong indication you can add it.

Anyway, it's probably better to omit a review line that should have
been included, rather than include one that should not have been
(e.g., because undesirable changes were made). So again, no worries
from me!
