checkpatch: better pattern for inline comments
checkpatch is unhappy about this line: WARNING: Block comments use a leading /* on a separate line #50: FILE: hw/acpi/nvdimm.c:1074: + aml_equal(aml_sizeof(pckg), aml_int(1)) /* 1 element? */)); but there's nothing wrong with it - the check is just too simplistic. It will also miss lines which mix inline and block comments. Instead, let's strip all inline comments from a line and then check for block comments. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
