[RFC] scripts: checkpatch: allow case x: return #x macros

[Stanislaw Gruszka]

Do not report errors like below:

./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi.h

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
+#define C2S(x) case x: return #x

since "case x: return #x" macros are already used by some
in-kernel drivers.
