The subject line still has a incorrect subsystem prefix:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-tip.html#patch-subject

Also 'use jiffies macro' is not really informative. Something like

     "Use time_after() for jiffies comparison"

makes it entirely clear what this is about.

Also here instead of 'time_after macro' please use simply
'time_after()'. It's uninteresting whether this is a macro or not.
