The kernel documentation defines some tag conventions, one of them is "Suggested-by".
Its definition:
A Suggested-by: tag indicates that the patch idea is suggested by the person named and ensures credit to the person for the idea.
Please note that this tag should not be added without the reporter's permission, especially if the idea was not posted in a public forum.
That said, if we diligently credit our idea reporters, they will, hopefully, be inspired to help us again in the future.
It could have been more appropriate to the situation, I think it's convey better the idea that you have found a solution to a problem, but because you are not familiar with the project, the exact syntax of your patch has not been kept.
