Quoting documentation:

Clean-up patches
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Netdev discourages patches which perform simple clean-ups, which are not in
the context of other work.

This is because it is felt that the churn that such changes produce comes
at a greater cost than the value of such clean-ups.

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#clean-up-patches
