Subject: checkpatch: do not report nr_static as a static declaration
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2d1bafd799ee0442979e6ce4145d58b69d3cade2;p=linux-beck.git

checkpatch: do not report nr_static as a static declaration

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;
