Subject: Checkpatch possible false positive

Hello

after running checkpatch on some files, it returns "ERROR: Macros with
complex values should be enclosed in parenthesis" while processing
code like this:
#define SOMEVALUE 'x'

It happens on agpgart.h, checkpatch complains about line 30 that
corresponds to:
#define AGPIOC_BASE       'A'
Running it on elf.h returns the same error on these lines
#define ELFMAG1         'E'
#define ELFMAG2         'L'
#define ELFMAG3         'F'

Do you think this could be a false positive?
The tree is linux-next and checkaptch version is 0.32


Thank you                                                                      
Marco
