From 89a883530fe79939384a6c6ed893c719762c7c9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Whitcroft Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:10:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: ## is not a valid modifier Inserting a # into the modifiers list will incorrectly add the null string to the modifiers list, leading to an infinite loop. As neither of these is a valid modifier form simply ignore them.
