Hmm, I do not see why you think so. I think the subject is fine - the
patch improves error handling in the SR code. Then description says how
exactly it improves it - it makes the code to not forget to check the
return code, and it tells in which function and which return code.

So the logic is:

1. The subject line is a short description which gives the idea what the
commit is about. So, my subject line says:
  1.1. It is about omap3 (which is true)
  1.2. It is about sr (which is true)
  1.3. It improves error handling (which is also true)

So the subject line is descriptive enough. It does not have to provide
all glory details.

Then the description provides the details.
