From f39e1769bbfc4936ff8364fb2529dc8bf6bc6888 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 17:04:02 -0700 Subject: checkpatch: improve CONSTANT_COMPARISON test for structure members A "." dereference to an all uppercase structure member can be incorrectly reported as a CONSTANT_COMPARISON. ie: "if (table[i].PANELID == tempdx)" Fix it by checking for "." before the constant test.
