checkpatch false positive for "do not use assignment in if condition"

[Ethan Nelson-Moore]

Hello,

I got a strange error from checkpatch while preparing this patch for submission:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260509214622.38319-1-enelsonmoore@xxxxxxxxx/

ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition
#37: FILE: sound/soc/fsl/eukrea-tlv320.c:145:
+       if (of_machine_is_compatible("eukrea,cpuimx27") ||

ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition
#48: FILE: sound/soc/fsl/eukrea-tlv320.c:162:
+       } else if (of_machine_is_compatible("eukrea,cpuimx25") ||

These lines do not even contain =.
Could someone look into why this happened?

Have a nice day!
Ethan
