Just to make clear , is this patch fixing an issue, or it's just an
preparation for later patch's use?

Or I should ask in another way, any problem is solved with this patch?

At least it doesn't fix an issue that satisfy the criteria listed in
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html

Then it should not be CC-ed to stable.

OK, I'll drop "CC:" in next version.

You can put the note here, it won't be added to commit log when merged.
Maybe it can be removed when merged.

Thanks for the suggestion! Shall I send a version to fix this problem or
can I just bother the maintainer to remove it?

Better send a clean one, it will save maintainer's time, they can pick
it directly.

Thanks for the confirmation! I'll simply delete them because,
1. these notes don't make sense anymore if I don't CC the patches to the stable
    tree 
2. I've explained in the cover letter the first two patches
    are the prerequisite patches for the 3rd patch.
