That is strange, who is the author of the patch? Also I think Tested-by
is enough, being an even stronger form of Acked-by?

But then you also have Signed-off-by: Wang in there...

>From Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

---------

12) When to use Acked-by: and Cc:
---------------------------------

The Signed-off-by: tag indicates that the signer was involved in the
development of the patch, or that he/she was in the patch's delivery path.

If a person was not directly involved in the preparation or handling of a
patch but wishes to signify and record their approval of it then they can
ask to have an Acked-by: line added to the patch's changelog.

Acked-by: is often used by the maintainer of the affected code when that
maintainer neither contributed to nor forwarded the patch.

------------------

If Wang wrote the original patch and you made it better working together
with him, probably having both of you in Signed-off-by lines should be
enough?
