There are a number of places where kernel code uses commas, where one
might normally expect a semicolon.  For example,

drivers/cpufreq/sparc-us2e-cpufreq.c:

 		driver->target = us2e_freq_target;
 		driver->get = us2e_freq_get;
 		driver->exit = us2e_freq_cpu_exit;
		driver->owner = THIS_MODULE,     <------------- comma here
		strcpy(driver->name, "UltraSPARC-IIe");

 		cpufreq_us2e_driver = driver;
 		ret = cpufreq_register_driver(driver);

Is there any reason for this?  I guess that they are not very harmful, but
if one happens to write a static checker rule that expects a ;, then this
code will be overlooked.
