checkpatch: improve "return is not a function" test
Find a few more cases where parentheses are used around the value of a return statement. This now uses the "$balanced_parens" test and also makes the test depend on perl v5.10 and higher. This now finds return with parenthesis uses the old code did not find like: ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required #211: FILE: arch/m68k/include/asm/sun3xflop.h:211: + return ((error == 0) ? 0 : -1); Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Tested-by: David Cohen <david.a.cohen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: David Cohen <david.a.cohen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
