two false alarms from checkpatch.pl

After running "./scripts/checkpatch.pl -F arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c", I got some errors reported on valid lines
ERROR: space prohibited before open square bracket '['
#451: FILE: mips/kernel/syscall.c:451:
+ : [addr] "r" (addr),
This line is valid, and if I remove the space in between, it will report a different error
ERROR: spaces required around that ':' (ctx:ExV)
#448: FILE: mips/kernel/syscall.c:448:
+ :[old] "=&r" (old),
^
In another case, it reported
ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line
#515: FILE: mips/kernel/syscall.c:515:
+ while (1);
This is also valid line.
The above two cases are both false alarms, and need to be treated as exceptions in "checkpatch.pl -F".
Thanks,
Jian
