checkpatch: fix 'return is not a function' square bracket handling
We are incorrectly matching square brackets '[' and ']' leading to false positives on more complex functions as below: return (dt3155_fbuffer[m]->ready_head - dt3155_fbuffer[m]->ready_len + dt3155_fbuffer[m]->nbuffers)% (dt3155_fbuffer[m]->nbuffers); Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
