Subject: checkpatch: possible types: __asm__ is never a type
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~714
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d3ddcf471ea90d7ff711dbaa371ef379ed625ec0;p=linux-2.6

checkpatch: possible types: __asm__ is never a type

We are false matching __asm__ as a type, and then tripping the external
function checks.  Squash.
