This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug
fixes. Of note:

- warnings for multiple assignments per line
- warnings for multiple declarations per line
- checks for single statement blocks with braces

This patch includes an update for feature-removal-schedule.txt to
better target checks.

Andy Whitcroft (12):
Version: 0.08
check for spaces between function name and open parenthesis


+# check for spaces between functions and their parentheses.
+ if ($line =~ /($Ident)\s+\(/ &&
+ $1 !~ /^(?:if|for|while|switch|return|volatile)$/ &&
+ $line !~ /$Type\s+\(/ && $line !~ /^.\#\s*define\b/) {
+ ERROR("no space between function name and open parenthesis '('\n" . $herecurr);
+ }


this somehow seems to match something completely non-related (a function pointer declaration case):

ERROR: no space between function name and open parenthesis '('
#7278: FILE: drivers/net/e1000e/hw.h:434:
+ bool (*check_mng_mode)(struct e1000_hw *);

even if I put a space between ")(", it still complains.
