I was able to build it with Ubuntu/Linaro GCC-5.4.0

Did you test this patch out?

I booted the kernel on qemu-2.12 and insmod of fbtft drivers did not 
return any errors. I did not test on actual display hardware. 
If that is mandatory, I can drop the patch. 

thanks,

IMHO that is a bogus checkpatch error...

... as the space is the (mandatory) separator between the comma and the
(empty) last parameter value.

Checkpatch has some limitations when parsing the C preprocessor macro
languagage.
