Of course, no problem!

Process-wise, I will use the Linux kernel's Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
"Co-developed-by:". I will change the patch to name you as the main author (From: field), and add myself to a "Co-developed-by:" like this:

From: hewenliang <hewenliang4 at huawei.com>

Signed-off-by: hewenliang <hewenliang4 at huawei.com>
Co-developed-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers at efficios.com>
Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers at efficios.com>
Cc: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

I don't think the "Reported-by" is useful given that you are the original author.

It seems to properly capture contributions.

Thanks!

Mathieu
