It's not how the rules in U-Boot work. See:
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/Patches#Review_Process_Git_Tags
;)

Only the people directly involved in the development of a patch may add their
SoB line, not custodians, not maintainers, not people in its delivery path if
they have not changed anything, and not authors of previous commits of related
code.

And being the author of previous commits on which a new patch depends has
nothing to do with being in the delivery path of this patch.

Hence, the only options that you have in this particular case are Reviewed-by,
Acked-by (I think that this one is also available to maintainers, not only to
custodians), and Tested-by.

Best regards,
Benoît
