How about:

There is no functional change. This is a preparatory change for the fix in

Almost. Just not call it a "following patch" because once this is
applied, the following one might be a different one depending on the
ordering a git command has requested. So a "later patch" would be
probably better.
Indeed, will do. Thank you.
Correct. I will add it. The addition to the commit message above aims to
explain a Fixes tag to a patch with no functional changes.
Yes but you need to tell the stable people somehow that this one is a
prerequisite and that they should pick it up too.
Right. Thanks for guiding here.
Unless you can reorg your code this way that you don't need patch 1...
I think that the current organization, with patch 1 containing the
preparatory work without functional changes, makes the fix in patch 2
easier to review. I thus plan to keep the code organization as is while
surely following your suggestion on how to support the stable team.
Thank you very much
Reinette
