I'm ok with leaving my reviewed by on _this_ patch because it's so simple but...

In general, when sending a follow up version of a patch, it's _not_ ok
to add a reviewed by tag when a reviewer has not explicitly responded
with "Reviewed-by: ...". That provides a false sense that a patch has
been thoroughly reviewed. Responding to a patch does not constitute a
"Reviewed-by:" tag.

And I might be fine with _this_ patch, but that says nothing about
Nathan, whom you've also falsely attributed a reviewed by tag here.

For such a trivial patch, it's not a big deal, but in the future
please do not do that again. It's ok to send v2, v3, etc, but wait
for reviewers to explicitly state such reviewed by tag. The maintainer
will collect those responses (and can be done so in an automated
fashion via a tool like b4 (https://pypi.org/project/b4/)) when
applying patches.

+1 with all that was said above. Tags should be explicitly given, except
for maybe the "Reported-by" and "Suggested-by" tags if the report or
suggestion was done in the public forum but it is still polite to ask if
it is okay to add.

For the record, my reviewed-by tag can stand:

Everything was said regarding these Reviewed-by tags
and you got them in this thread, so should be OK
Thank you Nathan and Nick for explaining this and sorting
out.

Small hint for next time, the Signed-off-by should be at the bottom of
that list.

Apart from that, the change itself is OK. I forgot about this comment
function name in some iteration... my apologies for that.

LGTM
