This is an insufficient justification. We normally don't modify the code _only_ to silence coverity. The reasoning is that it can be either fixed by coverity at some point, or worse coverity once again starting to report a problem with the code because of a different issue. You can try to come up with a commit message that justifies the change in a different way which would be accepted normally. (E.g. "making it obvious to the reader".)
