[PATCH 2/4] checkpatch: warn about use of legacy_static_base
From: Ahmad Fatoum
Date: Mon Jan 13 2025 - 17:19:42 EST
gpio_chip::legacy_state_base was recently added as opt-out for
existing drivers and shouldn't be used for new drivers. It's thus
sensible to add a deprecation warning whenever it's used.
This doesn't fit with the existing deprecated API check, because it
requires a `(' to follow the symbol name, so a new member specific
pattern is introduced instead.
