in parenthesis. Remove the parenthesis to improve code readability.

parentheses?
You propose to omit also some curly brackets, don't you?

Did you overlook the addition of patch version descriptions?

Teach checkpatch.pl to skip the ACPICA code instead. Seriously.
This code is generated semi-automatically out of the upstream ACPICA
code hosted on GitHub and it follows its own code-style rules. Don't
change it manually unless you have made a corresponding change
upstream.
Thanks!
