This is a simple but clear example of how "Fix" doesn't help one
understand the patch.  In reading the log message, one would probably
assume that you removed the repetition, but actually you added a comma.
So it would be better to explain what you did and why.  It's good to
acknowledge checkpatch, but the text of the warning message is not that
useful.
