Subject: checkpatch: fix another left brace warning
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b8c69e4384b0bcf1936c2137804840212daaf69;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

checkpatch: fix another left brace warning

This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace.

Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"

Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the
lbrace is at the start of a construct.  This catches it in the middle of
a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like
"\b"."

This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace
warning").
