[BUG] checkpatch.pl: false positive: space prohibited before open square bracket

From: Heinrich Schuchardt
Date: Tue Apr 03 2018 - 15:02:33 EST


This patch leads to errors "space prohibited before open square
bracket '['" for the asm statement.

In the inline assembler statement the bracket is not used for an index.
Adding a space after a colon or a comma should be allowable.
