I find it clearer to integrate such source code adjustments by separate patches together with improved commit messages. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?id=1d2cc5ac6f6668cc15216d51051103c61467d7e8#n138 Would you become interested to search for similar update candidates by the means of the semantic patch language (Coccinelle software)?
