Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Fix regex for do without braces
Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2021 23:53:05 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210627182305.4721-1-dwaipayanray1@gmail.com> (raw)

The regular expression for detecting do without braces
also passes when checkpatch encounters the "double"
keyword. This causes wrong recalculation of $stat in
checkpatch which can cause false positives.

Fix the regex to avoid the above. Also update the comments
for the check.
