That's not a complex macro!

Please use checkpatch as a hint, not the "truth".

thanks,

Dear Greg.

Yes! Of course that's not a pretty complex macro. However, I think it is
important to make a small effort to modify the minimum standard,
Checkpatch ERROR, to ensure consistency in the Linux code.
Starting with this Checkpatch error of samsung.c, I would like to start
my efforts on contribution from a small point.  Please review it again.
Why would I review something again that is not correct?

If you wish to start out in kernel development, please start in
drivers/staging/*/TODO, not in "core" kernel code.  That is what the
drivers/staging/ code is there for.

good luck!

Dear Greg.

Thank you for your comment. I'll see you soon with a good patch.

Sincerely,
Youngkeun Oh
