From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: checkpatch: catch all occurances of type and cast spacing errors per line
Fix up type and cast spacing checks such that all occurances on a line are
examined and reported. For example the line below has a valid cast and a
bad type, but currently we check the cast first which is good and stop:
u16* bar = (u16 *)baz;
We will also only report one of the errors in this example:
u16* bar = (u16*)bad;
Move to iterating across all casts and all types, reporting any failure.
