Error in scripts/checkpatch.pl

[Daniel Bomar]

Hello, I'm new to all this so please correct me if I'm sending this to
the wrong place.  I'd like to report the following error that shows
whenever I run scripts/checkpatch.pl.  The error shows at the top of
the output after which the script appears to function normally.  I'm
running Arch Linux and Perl version 5.20.0.  The error is as follows:

Useless use of greediness modifier '+' in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
m/(^\+.*) {8,8}+ <-- HERE \t/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 2424.
