As for code I'd suggest the "Describe your changes" part from 

  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html

and most essentially how to split them properly.

My best bet could something along the lines that perhaps there is some
issue to be sorted out but I don't honestly believe that this will ever
be a solution for any possible problem that exist in this planet.
