checkpatch: do not report nr_static as a static declaration

2d1bafd7 · Andy Whitcroft <[email protected]> · 2009-01-06 14:41:28 -08:00

Ensure we do not report identifiers containing the word static as static
declarations.  For example this should not be reported as an unecessary
assignement of 0:

	long nr_static = 0;
