Ah, yes, it's just comment formatting. I see that the changes are purely related to the presentation of the kernel documentation. The diff shows adjustments to the comment structure, specifically around the "Driver ops vs uAPI" and "Implicit creation" sections. The bullet points within these sections have been slightly adjusted, probably for consistency and readability. The code itself, however, remains untouched, which confirms what I expected. There are no functional changes at all. This means it's safe to mark `WorthFuzzing=false`. Good, simple patch. Nothing to worry about.
