Subject: checkpatch: macro complexity checks are meaningless in linker scripts
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~699
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b8f96a31f38c8e9fc75f0a89c6815e7cbc402858;p=linux-2.6

checkpatch: macro complexity checks are meaningless in linker scripts

Exclude vmlinux.lds.h from the macro complexity checks.  They will never
apply sanely here.
