I propose to improve the previous patch subject.

Is the following tag specification more appropriate?
Fixes: c94082656dac7 ("x86: Use enum instead of literals for trap values")

Your description looks like more appropriate, thank you.
But I want to receive suggestions from other reviewers also. So I will
send V2 patch as your point
once got confirmed. Sorry.

>>> This is detected by Coverity scan: #CID: 1464472(CHECKED_RETURN)
Can an additional imperative wording be helpful for the change description
(besides an adjusted patch subject)?

Thanks for your positive feedback.

Should the confirmation be sufficient from the available software documentation?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?idb5d3449788f85569096780592549d0340e9c0c7#n183
I am curious if this patch review will clarify more aspects.
Regards,
Markus
