I guess that I can not append the kind of report you might be looking for so far. This small update suggestion is just another result from one of my evolving scripts for the semantic patch language.
It was discussed under the topic “Comparing statement lists with SmPL” to some degree. https://systeme.lip6.fr/pipermail/cocci/2017-August/004388.html

Would you like to achieve unique error messages in this use case?
