Well, I remembered seeing one recently so I searched the archives of the linux-doc
mailing list (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/). In the search box I entered:
b:"compatibility"
but that's not going to work for a general case. For other patches to the
same file, I would change the search argument to
b:"Documentation/kernel-hacking/hacking.rst"
HTH.
