Thanks, I guess my grep skilz ain't good enough.

I used:
.
$ git grep -A1 -n "break;" | grep -B1 -P '\-\d+\-.*break;'

but that doesn't work because the line after the
first break is also break then that line also matches
break; too so the second grep expecting to match the
'-<line#>- break;' doesn't work.  That line also
matches the first pattern so it's ':<line#>:'

Duh...

This seems to work though:

$ git grep -n -P '^\s*break;\s*$' | \
  awk -F: '{if ($1==o1 && $2==o2+1) {print $0;} o1=$1; o2=$2;}'
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce/dce_transform.c:1333:			break;
drivers/media/usb/gspca/sn9c20x.c:1864:		break;
drivers/video/fbdev/pm2fb.c:479:		break;
drivers/video/fbdev/pm2fb.c:501:		break;
sound/soc/codecs/wcd-clsh-v2.c:483:		break;

Anyway it doesn't hurt to add it.

cheers, Joe
