I wonder about such a combination of information.

I find it reasonable that two function implementations should be adjusted according to a generated patch. Thus I imagine that not the mentioned SmPL script is “fixed” but the affected source file “drivers/video/fbdev/udlfb.c” may be improved. Will the subject “[PATCH] video: udlfb: Fix kobj_to_dev.cocci warnings” (or “[PATCH] video: udlfb: Use kobj_to_dev() instead of container_of()”) be more appropriate for the proposed commit message?

It seems that 0-day picks up new semantic patches that are added to trees in kernel.org, but that it's strategy for generating the patch is not ideal. I'll just drop these Fixes lines.
