I think these are suboptimal as the files should use
underscores rather than dashes.

checkpatch sees this as a subtraction which really
should have parentheses.

Don't expect to checkpatch to be perfect.

It's not.

It's a stupid little tool good for some things
and good for highlighting areas that might need
another look.

Use your judgment about everything it spews.
