Are there any updates on this patch? It seems it got lost in the noise.
It fixes these deprecation warnings on perl 5.22.0:

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\#\s*define.*do\s{ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3523.
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\(.*\){ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4035.
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/do{ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4036.
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^\({ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4483.
