Subject: checkpatch: possible types -- prevent illegal modifiers being added
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9a974fdbe3fbb4b0f6d552579dc79ac237412c61;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

checkpatch: possible types -- prevent illegal modifiers being added

Prevent known non types being detected as modifiers.  Ensure we do not
look at any type which starts with a keyword.
