Commas before "and" are unnecessary if they are used in the same
context, as it is here.

I suppose that this is a matter of preference, but the README consistently uses
the Oxford comma throught the text.
I think I'll just point to
https://docs.kernel.org/doc-guide/contributing.html#typo-fixes and defer this
to the Documentation maintainers :)

This is basic Oxford comma usage, and not something that needs to be
fixed in the kernel documentation.
