It's still useful information to include in the commit message that you
did the substitution by sed, then fixed up compiler warnings that
resulted from the new macro implementation being slightly more
type-safe, as well as fixing up a long line.  That way, if someone
backports this patch, they know how to resolve conflicts and/or check
that they are not missing a conversion.

Writing good commit messages is an art form - but in general, if
something was questioned during review of a previous revision, then it's
never a bad idea to beef up the commit message to answer that question
in advance for the next reviewer.
