[PATCH 06/11] checkpatch: fix EXPORT_SYMBOL handling following a function

From: Andy Whitcroft
Date: Mon Nov 28 2011 - 10:43:03 EST


The following fragment defeats the DEVICE_ATTR style handing, check for
and ignore the close brace '}' in this context:

int foo()
{
}
DEVICE_ATTR(link_power_management_policy, S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR,
ata_scsi_lpm_show, ata_scsi_lpm_put);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dev_attr_link_power_management_policy);
