These are caused by checkpatch incorrectly parsing its
internal representation of a statement block for struct's
(or anything else that is a statement block encapsulated
in {}'s that also ends with a ';'). Fix this by properly
parsing a statement block.
An example:
diff --git a/dummy.c b/dummy.c
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..3a932a5
--- /dev/null
+++ b/dummy.c
@@ -0,0 +1,12 @@
+struct dummy_type dummy = {
+ .foo = "baz",
+};
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy);
+
+static int dummy_func(void)
+{
+ return -EDUMMYCODE;
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy_func);
WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately \
follow its function/variable
#19: FILE: dummy.c:4:
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy);
The above warning is issued when it should not be.
