[bug report] checkpatch: if statement does not need to be enclosed in parentheses

[Alfonso Lima]

Hi,

In current linux-next, if you run the script on this piece of
code:

#define FOO(a)                          \
        if (a) {                        \
                something();            \
                something_else();       \
        }

You should get:

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
#1: FILE: foo.c:1:
+#define FOO(a)                         \
+       if (a) {                        \
+               something();            \
+               something_else();       \
+       }

We could silence checkpatch.pl using "do {} while ()" around the
if statement. However, the "if () {}" statement should be
enough. If someone could confirm this, I'll go and fix it.

Thanks,
Alfonso
