[BUG] scripts/checkpatch.pl: false positive missing parentheses
From: Heinrich Schuchardt
Date: Mon May 07 2018 - 14:31:25 EST
This patch creates a false positive:
ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
Here we define a constant that can be used to initialize a structure.
Adding parentheses would lead to a compile time error:
error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function
