For some sparse errors I fixed a while ago I got review feedback that
one should explain what is wrong what the fix does and not tell tool
reported. And it really does make sense to me.

Describing the tool that was used to find the issues fits to the cover
letter but not to the commits themselves.

I think I recently accepted a small fix with a "tool generated commit
message" but I don't want to take it as a practice It was a minor
mistake from my side to accept such patch.
