Hi Brian.

What version of checkpatch are you using?

Using linux-next:

$ git log --stat -p -1 --format=email 43163022927b6e7d202a7e6f939c3f392465494d | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 53 lines checked

Your patch has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
