Re: [PATCH] docs: Fix grammar and phrasing errors in reporting-issues.rst

Lo! Thx again for doing this. 

You might want to add a version to the subject (see the -v option for
'git format-patch', which I assume you used to prepare the mail), it
helps to avoid confusion and some maintainers are picky there -- but I
guess Jonathan might not care too much for a simple patch like this.
Some maintainers also would have insisted on a changelog below the
 "---" line; again, for a simple patch like this it likely is not
important.

Please use imperative mood, which
https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes
describes better then I can do that quickly here.

Looks fine. But you dropped this change from your earlier patch
afaics:

-module not part of the Linux kernel. That why your might need to uninstall the
+module not part of the Linux kernel. That's why you might be need to uninstall the
 packages with such software to get rid of any 3rd party kernel module.

Sorry, guess I was not clear enough what I wanted in my last mail.
Please re-add that change, but this time keep the line wrapping
intact -- which most likely will mean that the "the" and the end
of the changed line needs to go to the beginning of the next line.

Ciao, Thorsten
