Again, the wording is a little difficult and much too verbose for such a
trivial change. You really don't need to explain the change of printk
conversion specifier as it is obvious and implied by the patch itself.
Something like the following would be better:

"ibmvscsi: change type of rc to int in ibmvfc_handle_crq

Change type of rc variable in ibmvfc_handle_crq() to match return type
of ibmvfc_send_crq_init_complete()."

Otherwise,
