SubjectRe: [patch] ALSA compiler warnings fixes
> +#define snd_power_unlock(card)		do { (void)(card); } while (0)



Why do we use in kernel:
do { (void)(foobar); } while (0)
instead of the simpler and normally used in std files (e.g. assert.h):
((void)(foobar),0)
?

The "do while(0)" is used for multi-statment macros, not the case for
void statment!
