Jarkko,
what's the ack for?
As maintainer you usually apply and sign off or don't.
Ack is more if you are not touching the patch but still think it's good (e.g.goes through another tree.

@Thomas:thanks for your contribution, but please spellcheck your descriptions, please.

I've based my use of acked-by based on section 12 of

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches

Have I somehow misunderstood it? I add signed-off-by's before I send
a pull requst even if the patch contains reviewd/acked-by by me.

Hi,
you usually add your signed-off while applying.
If you apply the patch you take an active role in forwarding the patch.

That's why this section applies:
"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. "

E.g. Rob would do that for the dt bindings.
He does have a quick look at a binding and says "okay for him" by indicating the ACK.

So rule of thumb
If it goes through your tree or you are the author ->signed off
If not -> ack

Reviewed-by is a bit unrelated, and content wise stronger as ack, but weaker approval wise.

All the applied commits have my signed-off-by so we should be good
with that.

So Acked-by and Signed-off-by are mutually exclusive?
