Hi Larry.

Using checkpatch is not necessary.

If you want generally conforming kernel style,
the macro should not end in a trailing comma.

Feel free to ignore the checkpatch message,

I think the warning is reasonable, though it
could be made more specific.

Maybe something like:
---
diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl
index bd88f11..7e8a3f4 100755
