Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, chapter 2: "Solve only one
problem per patch.".

I can understand the urge to merge two sets of changes here. However,
that creates a problem for me: The fix should be applied to stable kernels,
but not the refactoring.

Please split the patch in two, one for the bug fix and one for the
refactoring.

Thanks,
Guenter
