Menna,
There is a typo in the subject line.

The log message should focus on what is done and why. The checkpatch
warning text and the fact that the problem was detected using checkpatch
is useful, but less, so it should come last, not first.
Here, what is done is to enclose a sequence of statements in a macro
definition in a do-while loop with a test expression 0.
The reason why is to make it safe to use the sequence anywhere a single
statement can be used.
A period at the end of a sentence should be followed by some whitespace
before starting the next sentence.
