Since the first argument to I2C_BOARD_INFO() must be a string constant, there is no need to parenthesise it, and adding parentheses results in an invalid initialiser for char[]. gcc obviously accepts this syntax as an extension, but sparse complains, e.g.:
drivers/net/sfc/boards.c:173:2: warning: array initialized from parenthesized string constant Therefore, remove the parentheses.
