4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 8d81ae05d0176da1c54aeaed697fa34be5c5575e upstream.
As of perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) some new warnings have
occurred when running checkpatch.
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in
Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){
<-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3544.
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in
Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){
<-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3885.
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in
Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
m/^(\+.*(?:do|\))){ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4374.
It seems perfectly reasonable to do as the warning suggests and simply
escape the left brace in these three locations.
