From 447432f32328dcd081ae5e23f27d2ffa19f2ecf8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:49:17 -0700 Subject: checkpatch: fix jiffies comparison and others checkpatch could not distinguish between a variable in a struct named jiffies and the normal jiffies. foo->jiffies would emit a "Comparing jiffies" arning. Update the $Compare variable to do a negative look-behind for "-" when finding a ">" so that a pointer dereference like -> isn't a comparison.
