As per Documentation/SubmittingPatches:

<<
13) 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
arrange 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.

That said, it is not a strong requirement... unfortunately. So, let's
have some fun and go ACK thousand of trivial patch just to generate
traffic on the LKML and give myself self-importance :-)
