I'll add that, although I will say to think of checkpatch as more of a
guide and not a requirement. I find there's a lot of checkpatch fixes
that cause the code to be less readable. But I agree that it is useful for
someone just entering the project.

And I can give different approaches ;-)  The approach I gave to you with
patchwork may not be the best either. If I do add something here, it will
to use a new tool called "b4".

For example, you can apply this patch with:

 $ b4 am 20210405151959.1d6901b2@gandalf.local.home

Where I used the Message-ID of my email. It also works with series.

Anyway, thanks for the input. This was the reason I included you on this
patch.
