I think you are reading wrongly the rule,  the title explains the issue and in addition 
I'm adding exact sparse warning. this is usually required. 
What is wrong is putting something like 'Fix sparse error' or "Fix warning' into patch subject. 
So the imperative here is 'adding annotation' and not a 'fixing a sparse message'.
