Even for a simple change, it wouldbe better to follow the model that the
subject line should concisely orient the reader (eg "remove unneeded
return") and the log message should give a more complete description.
Simply repeating what checkpatch tells you is rarely a good idea.  It says
what the problem is in a general way, whereas you should be explaining the
reasoning behind your fix in a specific case.  Here you could say that an
empty function with void return type does not need an explicit return, and
that the problem was detected with checkpatch.
