Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] docs: stable-kernel-rules: improve structure and a few tweaks

When adding something to this document earlier I noticed that readers
need to perform some back and forth to fully understand things; I also
noticed a few other aspects that seemed somewhat odd for me with my
background on writing and editing texts.

Find attached a few patches to improve things. The first three are
mainly moving text around to a structure which is somewhat clearer. They
leave quite a few rough edges behind that are fixed in in the last patch
of the series, which changes a few other changes as well; thx to the
prep patches the diff should be relative straight-forward to understand.

These patches are on-top of the following series that currently is in the 
driver-core-testing branch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1689056247.git.linux@leemhuis.info/

Ciao, Thorsten

v1:
* new patch-set based on patch 3/3 and other feedback to the following
  patchset[1], but slit off into a seperate set with four distinct
  patches to make it easier to see what is actually changed
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/d30686781c47c83927e0a41f6a1167a679fa822c.1689008220.git.linux@leemhuis.info/
* append one more patch for something that came up
