Hi.

checkpatch.pl correctly reports a warning for the following code:

if (something)
     foo;
else
     bar;

WARNING: braces {} are necessary for all arms of this statement
#1: FILE: tmp/a.c:1:
+if (something)
[...]
+else
[...]


But if I modify it as follows, checkpatch.pl doesn't report any 
warning/error:

if (something) {
     foo;
} else
     bar;

Doesn't QEMU coding style forbid such constructions?
