RE: checkpatch.pl report about "Missing blank line after declarations" in a structure definition

[Dotan Barak]

I think that allowing a prefix is reasonable (to allow modules to add more flexibility).
I tried the suggested change and it still didn't work for me.

The following change worked for me:
(?:$Storage\s+)?[A-Z0-9_]*(?:DECLARE|DEFINE)_[A-Z_]*\s*\(|

But, maybe it is better to be even more general and allow:
(?:$Storage\s+)?[A-Z0-9_]*(?:DECLARE|DEFINE)_[ A-Z0-9_]*\s*\(|


Thanks a lot for the quick (and great) response!
