Description

checkpatch.pl print empty correction string if mistake string have '('

 

These input (mistake string) prints empty correction string.

1. ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR||ERR_CAST
2. ERR_PTR.PTR_ERR||ERR_CAST

Error Eg:

CHECK: 'ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(' may be misspelled - perhaps ''?
#185: FILE: ./lustre/mdt/mdt_identity.c:185:
+ return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(entry));

If the typo_fix is a matched regexp, then the checked string will not be found in spelling_fix.

 may be misspelled - perhaps 'CHECKPATCH ERROR'?
