https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html

says:

Any further SoBs (Signed-off-by:’s) following the author’s SoB are
from people handling and transporting the patch, but were not
involved in its development. SoB chains should reflect the real
route a patch took as it was propagated to the maintainers and
ultimately to Linus, with the first SoB entry signalling primary
authorship of a single author.

So yes, you need to add your Signed-off-by to all my patches,
independent of if you make changes or not.
