Hi Andy, Folks,

I have two patches of the code. I goofed up on [1] and seemingly fixed
it on [2] as per checkpatch.pl(I am using pastebin to prevent spamming
the mailing list - apologies on that). This behavior seems to be related
to the usage __deprecated with structure fields.

The code in question is:
(fail.patch)
struct omap_opp {
bool enabled;
unsigned long rate;
u8 opp_id __deprecated;
u16 vsel __deprecated;
};
Vs:
(ok.patch)
struct omap_opp {
bool enabled;
unsigned long rate;
u8 __deprecated opp_id;
u16 __deprecated vsel;
};

kernel tag used: v2.6.32

$scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict ../fail.patch:

ERROR: space prohibited after that '&&' (ctx:WxW)
#380: FILE: arch/arm/plat-omap/opp.c:25:

.../fail.patch has style problems, please review. If any of these errors
are false positives report them to the maintainer, see
CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.


$scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict ../ok.patch
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 511 lines checked

.../ok.patch has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.

The failure with fail.patch seems to be a false positive and wonder if
someone has seen this before.

Just checking if someone has seen this issue before. (musing as to what
the ideal style of __deprecated is)..
