checkpatch: handle FILE pointer type
When using a "FILE *" type, checkpatch considers this an error: ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxV) #32: FILE: f.c:8: +static void a(FILE *const b) ^ Fix this by explicitly defining "FILE" as a common type. This is useful for user space patches. With this patch, we now get: <E> <E> <_>WS( ) <E> <E> <_>IDENT(static) <E> <V> <_>WS( ) <E> <V> <_>DECLARE(void ) <E> <T> <_>FUNC(a) <E> <V> <V>PAREN('(') <EV> <N> <_>DECLARE(FILE *const ) <EV> <T> <_>IDENT(b) <EV> <V> <_>PAREN(')') -> V <E> <V> <_>WS( ) 32 > . static void a(FILE *const b) 32 > EEVVVVVVVTTTTTVNTTTTTTTTTTTTVVV 32 > ______________________________ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220902111923.1488671-1-mic@digikod.net Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220902111923.1488671-1-mic@digikod.net Signed-off-by: Mickaël Salaün <mic@digikod.net> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: Dwaipayan Ray <dwaipayanray1@gmail.com> Cc: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
