On a general note, I think the actual change or effect is more import
to mention in the subject than the fact that you "fix some issue
highlighted by checkpatch".

Something like

Subject: [PATCH] staging: unisys: visorbus: use __func__ instead of
function name

Of course you can still mention that checkpatch highlighted the issue
for you in the description.

It looks sane, anyway.
