checkpatch suspected false positive

[Tobin C. Harding]

Checkpatch may be giving a false positive of type CONST_STRUCT when
parsing files in drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.

$ pwd

$ cd drivers/staging/comedi/drivers

$ checkpatch --terse --show-types *.c | grep CONST_STRUCT

snippet from das16.c

/* get any user-defined input range */
if (pg_type == das16_pg_none && (min || max)) {
        struct comedi_lrange *lrange;
        struct comedi_krange *krange;

        /* allocate single-range range table */
        lrange = comedi_alloc_spriv(s, sizeof(*lrange) + sizeof(*krange));
        if (!lrange)
                return &range_unknown;

        /* initialize ai range */
        lrange->length = 1;
        krange = lrange->range;
        krange->min = min;
        krange->max = max;
        krange->flags = UNIT_volt;

        return lrange;
}

>From snippet it may be seen that struct comedi_lrange *lrange should
not be const.

In the event that I am in the wrong and checkpatch is correct please
feel free to bluntly correct me.

thanks,
Tobin.
