Right. Thanks. Just one question - what if I get reviewed-by for a
patch which I later rework? Like this MFD patch where I got reviewed-by
from Linus Walleij for v6 - but which I reworked due to comments from
Enric and Dmitry. I have not kept the reviewed-by as the patch is not
exactly the same Linus was originally reviewing. I guess the tags should
be only kept for patches which are unchanged, right?
