1. Please choose an imperative wording for an improved change description.
   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.10-rc4#n94

2. Would you like to add any tags (like “Fixes” and “Cc”) accordingly?

3. How do you think about to use a summary phrase like “Avoid memory leak
   in do_set_irq_trigger()”?

4. Under which circumstances will development interests grow for increasing
   the application of scope-based resource management?
