Commas before "and" are unnecessary if they are used in the same
context, as it is here.

This is basic Oxford comma usage, and not something that needs to be
fixed in the kernel documentation.

I suppose that this is a matter of preference, but the README consistently uses
the Oxford comma throught the text.

I think I'll just point to
https://docs.kernel.org/doc-guide/contributing.html#typo-fixes and defer this
to the Documentation maintainers :)
