Hi,

the following testcase is probably misreported by checkpatch.pl:

static const unsigned char pci_irq_swizzle[2][PCI_MAX_DEVICES] = {
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 27, 27, [9 ... PCI_MAX_DEVICES - 1] = 0 },
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 29, 29, [9 ... PCI_MAX_DEVICES - 1] = 0 },
};

The result is:

ERROR: space prohibited before open square bracket '['
#2: FILE: testcase.c:2:
+ {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 27, 27, [9 ... PCI_MAX_DEVICES - 1] = 0 },

ERROR: space prohibited before open square bracket '['
#3: FILE: testcase.c:3:
+ {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 29, 29, [9 ... PCI_MAX_DEVICES - 1] = 0 },

total: 2 errors, 0 warnings, 5 lines checked

NOTE: Ignored message types: COMPLEX_MACRO CONSIDER_KSTRTO MINMAX
MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE

testcase.c has style problems, please review.

If any of these errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.

Cheers!
