We all know the kernel coding style, no need to have a link to it in the
changelog text, right?

Why is this here?  That's a random college course web site.

And random links in changelog text do not age well, include the full
text of what matters in the changelog text itself, it should be
self-contained where ever possible as these live much longer than random
web site links will.
