The title of the patch should refer to the bug rather than which tool
found it.

here, for eaxmple:

  net: phy: fix use of uninit variable when setting PLCA config

nit: the tags are in somewhat unnatural order. Since you'll need to
respin for the subject change, this would be better:

Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@chromium.org>
Fixes: 493323416fed ("drivers/net/phy: add helpers to get/set PLCA configuration")
Signed-off-by: Piergiorgio Beruto <piergiorgio.beruto@gmail.com>

(Yes, the custom coverity tag can go meet its friends in the bin)
