Still doubtful because the kernel sources has ~150:1 preference
for no space, and it's still just a whitespace convention...

$ git grep -P '\b\w*for_each\w*\(' | wc -l
31920
$ git grep -P '\b\w*for_each\w*\s+\(' | wc -l
196

Doubtful as it's likely the .clang-format for_each list is
just out of date for your particular for_each type use and
the scripted bit that it uses to create them hasn't be
updated in awhile. Also that scripted bit only works on files
in include/ and not anything locally defined.

in .clang-format:

# Taken from:
# git grep -h '^#define [^[:space:]]*for_each[^[:space:]]*(' include/ \
# | sed "s,^#define \([^[:space:]]*for_each[^[:space:]]*\)(.*$, - '\1'," \
# | sort | uniq

clang-format: Update with the latest for_each macro list

Re-run the shell fragment that generated the original list.

Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

checkpatch basically just looks for any use of 'for_each'

(?:[a-z_]+|)for_each[a-z_]+)

So it has false positives for some functions and not macros.
