You might want to split this into two commits.

You need a Fixes tag here.

You can't do that. The patch is rather straightforward, so 3
authorship seem a little bit too much.

If someone suggested you a change, or sent you a proposal, you should
use a Suggested-by. If it was reported by a colleague, use Reported-by.
If it was co-developped, use the right tag and the right Signed-off-by
as documented in the submitted-process.rst file. If you picked the
patch from someone else, you must preserve the authorship and just add
your SoB.
