It's not ideal to just include the checkpatch messges verbatim in your log
message. It woudl be better to say what you are doing and why, in
complete sentences ("According to the Linux coding style" is not a
complete sentence).
I also suspect that the checkpatch message is wrong. Floating point
numbers cannot be used in the kernel, and the case of the constant ensures
that the value will be converted to an integer at compile time.
