Thank you for the explanation. I'll learn how to use b4.

Just to be sure I get it right: should I keep your tag and move it between
my Co-developed-by and Signed-off-by, or should I drop it?

Also, to make sure I follow the correct process and understand the clock
maintainer's preference: Should I send a v14 to fix the tag, or is it
possible for the clock maintainer to help amend this if there are no other
changes?
