Just to make clear , is this patch fixing an issue, or it's just an preparation for later patch's use?
Or I should ask in another way, any problem is solved with this patch?
At least it doesn't fix an issue that satisfy the criteria listed in https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
Then it should not be CC-ed to stable.
OK, I'll drop "CC:" in next version.

You can put the note here, it won't be added to commit log when merged. Maybe it can be removed when merged.
Thanks for the suggestion! Shall I send a version to fix this problem or can I just bother the maintainer to remove it?
Better send a clean one, it will save maintainer's time, they can pick it directly.
Thanks for the confirmation! I'll simply delete them because, 1. these notes don't make sense anymore if I don't CC the patches to the stable tree 2. I've explained in the cover letter the first two patches are the prerequisite patches for the 3rd patch.
