Please avoid the repetition of a function name in such a change description.
Can it be improved with corresponding imperative wordings?

A) Will the shown dma_set_seg_boundary() call trigger similar software development concerns?
   https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc5/source/include/linux/dma-mapping.h#L562

B) Under which circumstances would you become interested to increase the application
   of scope-based resource management here?
