I notice in patchwork, checkpatch doesn't like the "if" starting the in
the macro definition. While that would be true of definitions in kernel
header files which can be used anwhere, for such a simple limited usage
here, wrapping the thing in do { } while(0) is needless baggage, over-
complicates the code, and makes it less readable. So, IMHO, checkpatch
is wrong.
