I think the entries should be surround by ()
I think it's reasonable too.

I tried:

$ cat cp.c
#define IFPTR(usb, idx)		((usb)->actconfig->interface[(idx)])
#define IFALTS(usb, idx)	(IFPTR((usb), (idx))->altsetting[0])
#define IFDESC(usb, idx)	(IFALTS((usb), (idx)).desc)
#define IFEPDESC(usb, idx, ep)	((IFALTS((usb), (idx)).endpoint[(ep)]).desc)

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f cp.c
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 5 lines checked

cp.c has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
