Having the commit message point to the commit id that introduced the bug 
is useful.  The grammar is awkward (it sounds like the bug is that 
checkpatch.pl stopped complaining about the pattern, so the fix is to 
reinstate the complaint); better might be:

Commit XYZ introduced a regression: checkpatch.pl started complaining 
about the following valid pattern:
do {
     /* something */
} while (condition);

Fix the script to once again permit this pattern.

Is this an updated revision to a patch posted earlier?  If so, including 
'v2' in the subject line (easy if you use 'git format-patch -v2' or 'git 
send-email -v2'), and then using this space after the --- separator to 
describe what changed since v1, makes life easier for reviewers.

Thank you for correcting my mistakes. :-)

Yes, it's an updated revision to a earlier patch.
But I wasn't about sending it, when I was using [ctrl + r] and [enter],
I send it accidentally.

Thanks for your kind suggestion.

Best,
