checkpatch.pl false positive?

[Michele Sorcinelli]

I tried to run the checkpatch.pl script as follows:

	scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c

And I noticed this kind of warnings:

	WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
	#122: FILE: drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c:122:
	+       unsigned int eax;
	+       unsigned int ebx __packed;

	WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
	#123: FILE: drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c:123:
	+       unsigned int ebx __packed;
	+       unsigned int ecx __packed;

The offending code looks like this:

	struct smm_regs {
		unsigned int eax;
		unsigned int ebx __packed;
		unsigned int ecx __packed;
		unsigned int edx __packed;
		unsigned int esi __packed;
		unsigned int edi __packed;
	};

It looks like a false positive as it excepts a blank line after every struct
field declaration.

Should it be reported to the checkpatch.pl maintainers?
