... and when I open that link, the first paragraph says:

"This is the explanation I made when Andrew helped to review the v1 post:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/23/78"

Do you see the absurdity of the link chasing of your explanation?!

Instead, the explanation *WHY* should be in the commit message of the
patch - not in mail replies when people ask you about it.

Also, do not use lkml.org when referencing a mail on lkml but
use the Message-ID of the header. We have a proper redirector at
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/<Message-ID>

Now lemme read the reason finally...

"We need unify these two interfaces on behaviour since they are the same
on essense from the users' point of view... "

That's not a good enough reason for me to cause code churn. If the only
reason is: because the one does it top-down and the other bottom-up, I'm
not convinced.
