Hi,

Written this way, this is really counter-intuitive.
I think that the checkpatch warning should be ignored in this case.

This does not silence the checkpatch warning.
I think that the checkpatch warning should also be ignored in this case.

checkpatch output should always be taken with a grain of salt.
It just runs some heuristics on what looks improvable, but it is not THE 
law.

It is just a tool that can help in many cases, but not all.

Here, I think that the code is better as-is.
