These subject lines are useless and way too long. A patch subject should describe the nature of the patch and not elaborate what the patch is doing technically.
clocksrouce/timer-imz-gpt: Prevent resource leaks in error path
would be a proper subject line which makes it entirely clear what this patch is about.
From your subject line I have to read the patch itself to figure that out. It's completely irrelevant whether that resource is a mapping or allocated memory. The point is that the error path leaks resource(s).
See Documentation/SubmittingPatches. There you'll find a lengthy explanation about changelogs and summary lines in particular.
Thanks,
