The offending line is:
*(__PTR) = (u64)__data * NSEC_PER_USEC;

so this seems a false positive.

I have used symbolic permissions because I find them much easier to
remember and decode than numeric constants, and because it is done so

since you share this checkpatch complain, I will switch to constants.
