Uhm, I'm not sure what can be tested in a patch only adding a comment. Did
you mean 'Reviewed-by' maybe?

Also, I _think_ the best syntax for a comment would be using a '#', not
parentheses, so that would be

| Tested-by: Damon Ding <damon.ding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # on rk3399

This is the recommended syntax for the 'Cc: stable' lines [0], at
least. Additionally b4 keeps comments with the '#' as those in [1], while
is discards the ones in parentheses.
