Review:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes

Especially:
Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. “make xyzzy do frotz” instead
of “[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz” or “[I] changed xyzzy to do frotz”, as
if you are giving orders to the codebase to change its behaviour.
