[PATCH] checkpatch: Improve multi-line alignment test

From: Joe Perches
Date: Fri Jun 30 2017 - 12:53:34 EST


The current test fails to warn about improper alignment with code like

foo->bar = func(arg1,
arg2);

because foo->bar is not a single identifier.

Convert the $Ident to $Lval which allows for multiple dereferences.
