This works rather better:
Perhaps you could test?

I'm looking at some modification done in the last month that could have
been spotted by the above script.

./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/usb/phy/phy-jz4770.c

correctly spots the 3 first cases, but the 3 last (line 202, 210 and
217) are missed.
I don't understand why.
It has to do with checkpatch's single statement parsing.

This case:

if (foo)
dev_warn(...);

is parsed as a single statement but

if (foo) {
dev_warn(...);
};

is parsed as multiple statements so for the
second case

dev_warn(...);

is analyzed as a separate statement.

The regex match for this missing newline test expects
that each printk is a separate statement so the first
case doesn't match.

Clearly the regex can be improved here.
So on top of the original patch:

Hi,

./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/soc/kendryte/k210-sysctl.c

is missing line 189, even if it looks like a construction correctly spotted in some other files:
if (foo) {
dev_err(...);
...
};
