I'd prefer it to be in alphabetical order (rather than just adding at
the bottom).
That's OK for me.  But it's better to be done in another patch to
distinguish contents from pure order change?
That way, when lists grow, it's easier to find things.

I'd s/Linux kernel/kernel/ when it doesn't specifically refer to the
Linux kernel to differentiate it from other kernels.  It only adds noise
(IMHO).  mtk?
Sure.  Will fix this and all following comments below.  Thanks a lot for
your help!  I am new to man pages.

Best Regards,

Hi Huang, Ying,

Sorry I forgot to answer.
See below.

BTW, Linux 5.10 has been released recently;
is this series already merged for 5.11?
If not yet, could you just write '5.??' and we'll fix it (and add a
commit number in a comment) when we know the definitive version?

Thanks,

Alex

Yes, if you could do a series of 2 patches with a reordering first, it
would be great.
