Re: [PATCH] staging: greybus: fix gb_loopback_stats_attrs definition

PS: Thought I should clarify why I think it might help. The macro
definition for gb_loopback_attr, calls other macros, but since these
macros are not in all caps, (I apologise if they follow some other macro
convention that I am not aware about,) it makes them look like function
calls. And I know it were lazy of me to not look at the individual macros
themselves, I think it would be a lot clearer if there was a way of knowing
that these calls are infact to other macros and not functions.

Adding declare_ as a prefix to all of them certainly helps, if only a
little, in that regards. Functions are not used for declaring things,
and since the gb_loopback_attr macro itself would have declare_
prepended to it, it would certainly give a hint to the fact that the
calls used in the definition might similarly be macros.

Once again, I do accept it was my fault that I sent the patch without
looking at those definitions more closely, and not considering that the
developer who wrote it must have had a reason for doing so. I just
wanted to clarify that renaming them might actually help.
