Try to find some way to express what you are doing without using Fix.
It's pretty obvious that a patch fixes something, so the work Fix is not

Something like the following would be more informative.

Add *s at the begiinning of each line in a block comment to conform to the
Linux kernel coding style. Issue detected using checkpatch.
