[PATCH v2] scripts: reduce false positives in the macro_checker script.

From: Julian Sun
Date: Thu Jul 25 2024 - 23:13:33 EST


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

Also provide an option (-v) that alow users to control
whether or not to check conditional macros. When -v is
specified, conditional macros are checked; otherwise,
thet are not.

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
sjc@sjc:linux$ ./scripts/macro_checker.py -v fs | wc -l
31
