I wonder about such a combination of information.

I find it reasonable that two function implementations should be adjusted
according to a generated patch.
Thus I imagine that not the mentioned SmPL script is “fixed”
but the affected source file “drivers/video/fbdev/udlfb.c” may be improved.
Will the subject “[PATCH] video: udlfb: Fix kobj_to_dev.cocci warnings”
(or “[PATCH] video: udlfb: Use kobj_to_dev() instead of container_of()”)
be more appropriate for the proposed commit message?

It seems that 0-day picks up new semantic patches that are added to trees
in kernel.org, but that it's strategy for generating the patch is not
ideal.  I'll just drop these Fixes lines.
