From 308cc8d8f0deab2c5a5162316277ced556acc71f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:11:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: fix false positives for --strict "space after cast" test Commit 89da401f6cff ("checkpatch: improve "no space after cast" test") in -next improved the cast test for non pointer types, but also introduced false positives for some types of static inlines. Add a test for an open brace to the exclusions to avoid these false positives.
