How do you think about to improve such a change description with imperative wordings?

1. Would the commit 1085b8276bb4239daa7008f0dcd5c973e4bd690f ("tpm:
   Add the rest of the session HMAC API") be more appropriate as a reference?

2. Would you like to add a “stable tag” accordingly?
   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst?h=v6.10-rc7#n34

3. How do you think about to append parentheses to a function name
   in the summary phrase?
