Subject: [PATCH v3 0/1] coding-style: recommend reusing macros from split headers instead of kernel.h

Dear Maintainers,

This patch targets the "Linux kernel coding style" documentation and
recommend reusing macros inside the include/linux directory instead of
the obsolete header "include/linux/kernel.h".

This addresses the issue 'Irrelevant documentation recommending the use
of "include/linux/kernel.h"'[1][2] and help deprecating "kernel.h".

Changes in this roll:

Drop the patch mentioning the naming collisions caused by
locally-defined macro variants.[3]

Drop the patches that updates the zh_TW and zh_CN translation. I'll
send them again once the change of the untranslated documentation gets
ready.

Best regards,

Shamrock
