Patch series "2 checkpatch fixes, one pr_info_once".

2 small tweaks to checkpatch,
1 reducing several pages of powernow "not-relevant-here" log-msgs to a few lines


This patch (of 3):

We currently get:
  WARNING: Argument 'name' is not used in function-like macro
on:
  #define DRM_CLASSMAP_USE(name)  /* nothing here */

Following this advice is wrong here, and shouldn't be fixed by ignoring
args altogether; the macro should properly fail if invoked with 0 or 2+
args.
