Not everything in the world has and needs rules, sometimes common sense
is enough. It goes without saying that during internal review process,
developer suggested something. Recognition comes in many ways in the
kernel but definitely not by number of tags with specific developer
name on it, especially if this developer comes from same company
as patch author.

If we extend your claim, both you and me should add this type of
signature block for almost every patch which we submit:

Reviewed-by: ....
Tested-by:  ....
Suggested-by: ...
Signed-by: ...
