Hi Gary,

your subject is to general and also wrong as you change just one 
variable. Please find good examples in the in the kernel log.
Or here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-staging/20230921032515.96152-2-tdavies@darkphysics.net/T/#u

Omit the file names in the description as this is redundant.

You need a version history for all four versions of your patch.
See example:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-staging/ZQGiqA2GoDp%2FWiPK@ubuntu.myguest.virtualbox.org/T/#u

Bye Philipp
