Thanks for your input Julia and Stefano.
That's my general preference as well, but I can't find any point in the
"Describe your changes" section of submitting-patches.rst actually
defining the order. I wouldn't imply that from the sequence the steps
are presented in.
In case it's possible to say everything with a single statement as
Shreeya did here, though, I guess that becomes rather a linguistic
factor, and I personally prefer the concise version here.
https://kernelnewbies.org/PatchPhilosophy suggests:
In patch descriptions and in the subject, it is common and preferable to
use present-tense, imperative language. Write as if you are telling git
what to do with your patch.
Use of imperative language is the approach I was thinking as well.
