Hi Andy and Joe,

Checkpatch is complaining when code adds new trace events macros:

sarah@xanatos:~/git/kernels/xhci$ git am -s ~/Maildir.fetchmail/.to-apply
Applying: xhci: add traces for debug messages in xhci_address_device()
ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parenthesis
#86: FILE: drivers/usb/host/xhci-trace.h:15:
+#define TRACE_SYSTEM xhci-hcd

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parenthesis
#115: FILE: drivers/usb/host/xhci-trace.h:44:
+#define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH .

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parenthesis
#118: FILE: drivers/usb/host/xhci-trace.h:47:
+#define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE xhci-trace

total: 3 errors, 0 warnings, 169 lines checked


The macros have to be defined that way for trace events to work.
Can you fix checkpatch not to complain about trace event macros?

Thanks,
Sarah Sharp
