Hello Raghu,

If you would not be aware of this, checkpatch is a tool that is intended to
verify patches before submission and not to verify code that is already
upstream. A detailed explanation of why patches like this one should not be
submitted is available in "A quick guide to why stand-alone checkpatch
patches suck"
(https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2014-September/012296.html).

Thanks,

Bart.
