Hi Randy,
You are correct. I did not find anything clear or obvious that calls out not
ending the lines with a '(' symbol. 
I think the other guideline from the coding style is to align the overrunning
argument list in the next lines such that they match the arg1 after '('. So, I
think that may be the reason why checkpatch is coded to catch such lines.

Regards,
Deepak.
