[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] checkpatch: don't error out on },{ lines

[Alexander Graf]

When having code like this:

    static PCIDeviceInfo piix_ide_info[] = {
        {
            .qdev.name    = "piix3-ide",
            .qdev.size    = sizeof(PCIIDEState),
            .qdev.no_user = 1,
            .no_hotplug   = 1,
            .init         = pci_piix_ide_initfn,
            .vendor_id    = PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL,
            .device_id    = PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371SB_1,
            .class_id     = PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_IDE,
        },{
            .qdev.name    = "piix4-ide",
            .qdev.size    = sizeof(PCIIDEState),
            .qdev.no_user = 1,
            .no_hotplug   = 1,
            .init         = pci_piix_ide_initfn,
            .vendor_id    = PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL,
            .device_id    = PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB,
            .class_id     = PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_IDE,
        },{
            /* end of list */
        }
    };

checkpatch currently errors out, claiming that spaces need to follow
commas. However, this particular style of defining structs is pretty
common in qemu code and very readable. So let's declare it as supported
for the above case.
