So, typically, Acked-by tags are given by maintainers of the code.
Sometimes, other stakeholders give it too:

  https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#when-to-use-acked-by-cc-and-co-developed-by

I will keep the tag, but if this was meant to be a Reviewed-by or
similar instead, please let me know.

(Nit: it is usually -by, not -By).

Cheers,
Miguel
