You are correct that headers_ceck is limited here and this patch
take some valid code and refactor it to make it headers_check compatible.

But the resulting code is as readable as before and
we keep the noise down when checking our exported headers.

Considering the effort needed to fix the tool I would request
you to take the patch anyway.
