[PATCH] scripts: reduce false positives in the macro_checker script.

From: Julian Sun
Date: Thu Jul 25 2024 - 03:59:49 EST


Reduce false positives in the macro_checker
in the following scenarios:
1. Conditional compilation
2. Macro definitions with only a single character
3. Macro definitions as (0) and (1)

Before this patch:
sjc@sjc:linux$ ./scripts/macro_checker.py fs | wc -l
99

After this patch:
sjc@sjc:linux$ ./scripts/macro_checker.py fs | wc -l
11

Most of the current warnings are valid now.
