Dear Greg.

Yes! Of course that's not a pretty complex macro. However, I think it is
important to make a small effort to modify the minimum standard,
Checkpatch ERROR, to ensure consistency in the Linux code.
Starting with this Checkpatch error of samsung.c, I would like to start
my efforts on contribution from a small point. Please review it again.
If there are any points that require modification, such as comment,
then I'll modify it.
Thank you.
