Maybe use a more generic thing like the checkpatch type
in_voltage-voltage_thresh_low_value, /* checkpatch-SPACING */
Even so, it might uglify checkpatch code a lot to
check something like this per-line or per-block.
And that likely would have to be per line in the
code as checkpatch couldn't see when a patch block
addition occurs outside the scope of a comment.
I suppose inside checkpatch the "sub report {"
function could be extended to look at the specific
$rawline being tested for any "checkpatch" comment
and if so, test if it's the specific $type.
