The standard is to give some explaination why the tool complaint is valid and then if suitable include the tool complaint itself.
Eg bad:
Fix sparse warning on resp
Good:
use __le64 annotated variable for response buffer address
IMHO, the subject line sufficiently describes the patch, and it is generally OK to clip the tool warning into the body..
