You can just look at the commit, and send the tested-by to everyone listed
in the commit as: author, commiter, and in the "CC:" lines of the commit log
if there are any, and also the relevant subsystem ML (alsa-devel).  The
subjet should be: "Re: ALSA: hda-intel - AD1984 thinkpad - add analog beep
input control".

Send it to: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>
Cc: alsa-devel@alsa-project.org

Make sure to have this in the body of the message (quoted):

Although since it is already commited, it might happen that the tested-by
won't be added if they use a "pure git workflow". Some trees do, some don't
(e.g. ACPI doesn't, and would add the tested-by without fuss since the only
time a ACPI commit is set in stone is when it is sent to Linus for merging).
