I guess that your clarification request will trigger further collateral evolution.
Thus I suggest to reconsider also another commit message from your software
development branch accordingly.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/linux.git/commit/?h=slab-struct_slab-v1r8&id=8a685ebb3b2a10c1d781d5b3e6ad0315ce9323d6

“This patch splits several declarations of multiple variables, or declarations
that include initial assignments, to separate lines, due to my inability to
make a coccinelle semantic patch match on those declarations.”

* How do you think about to specify desirable change preparations by the means of
   the semantic patch language?

* Will any guidance help to find nicer solutions?

Regards,
Markus
