Do you find my wording “This issue was detected by using the
Coccinelle software.” insufficient?
The question is not whether it is insufficient, but whether it is appropriate.
I am curious on how our corresponding discussion will evolve further.

Detecting Coccinelle issues is one step.  The next step is deciding
what to do with them.
Will the clarification achieve any more useful results?

Up to now, these messages have been sent out as informational, not as patches.
I sent some update suggestions as patches also in this series (as usual).

Before sending patches to change existing code, address the "problem"
so that it doesn't continue to happen.
It might be very challenging to achieve such a goal.

Only afterwards is it appropriate to discuss what to do with existing code.
I would prefer to get corresponding improvements in both areas in parallel
(if it is generally possible).

Regards,
Markus
