Another false positive:

WARNING: braces {} are not necessary for single statement blocks
#1570: FILE: drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c:1570:
+               else {
+                       start = (stream->ps.phase << 3) +
stream->ps.phase_uf;
+               }

The code:

        if (stream->ps.phase == NO_FRAME) {
            int        done = 0;
...
            reserve_release_iso_bandwidth(ehci, stream, 1);
        }

        /* New stream is already scheduled; use the upcoming slot */
        else {
            start = (stream->ps.phase << 3) + stream->ps.phase_uf;
        }

There's a C89 comment before the else branch and immediately before
that an empty line. They, I think, are confusing the parser.
