Commit message here definitely needs more work.
First of all, it's now quite awkward to see this squashed stuff like this.
Second, it misses the warning examples it's talking about.
Third, it repeats some tags.
Fourth, it misses the Fixes tag.

Please, redone it correctly (one commit message with clear purpose and
example of warnings followed by Fixes tag) and resend a v3.

You may mention in the cover letter that this is squashed of three
patches from v1 (and give a link to lore.kernel.org).
