The printk removals do change the objects.
The value of that type of change is only for resource limited systems.
I imagine that such small code adjustments are also useful for other systems.
Your imagination and mine differ.
Where do you _think_ it matters?
For instance, nothing about
sizeof(type)
vs
sizeof(*ptr)
makes it easier for a human to read the code.
This class of change now require a syntactic parser
to find instances of the use of type where previously
a grep or equivalent tool worked well.

Markus' changelogs leave much to be desired.
Would you like to help more to improve the provided information
for the shown change patterns?
I've done that for you far too many times already.
Your changelogs need to detail _why_ something is being
done, not describe any tool used to perform or find a
particular instance of any change.
