* Please take text layout concerns a bit better into account also according to
  the usage of paragraphs.
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc3/source/Documentation/process/maintainer-tip.rst#L128

* Please improve the change description with an imperative wording.
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.10-rc3#n94
