I didn't look at much of the patch.

It looks as if the coccinelle code doesn't do the
transformation on each possible macro argument.

In the transform above, only the first referenced arg
is updated with parentheses and subsequent args are not.

Many or most of the uses of these various macros always
pass a single argument to these macros so there isn't a
real possibility of a precedence defect for those uses.

Is it possible to check the macro users for arguments that
might produce precedence defects and only report those
possible defects?

I also submitted a similar checkpatch addition that looks
for non-comma operators used macro arguments in function
definitions.

The checkpatch test has the same weakness as the coccinelle
test. It doesn't check uses, just the macro definition.

Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: improve MACRO_ARG_PRECEDENCE test

It is possible for a multiple line macro definition to have a false positive
report when an argument is used on a line after a continuation \.

This line might have a leading '+' as the initial character that could be
confused by checkpatch as an operator.

Avoid the leading character on multiple line macro definitions.

Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: add --strict test for precedence challenged macro arguments

Add a test for macro arguents that have a non-comma leading or trailing
operator where the argument isn't parenthesized to avoid possible precedence
issues.
