Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1001082021230.7591@ayla.of.borg> (raw)

	Hi Andy,

A patch from Finn causes a false positive in checkpatch:

| WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its function/variable
| #13: FILE: arch/m68k/mac/config.c:801:
| +EXPORT_SYMBOL(scc_a_pdev);

Test case from the patch:

--- a/arch/m68k/mac/config.c
+++ b/arch/m68k/mac/config.c
