Subject: error from checkpatch.pl version 0.10

Hello.

I checked my patch using checkpatch.pl version 0.10
and I got the following error.

  ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxV)
  #2334: FILE: security/tomoyo/common.c:2306:
  +static unsigned int tmy_poll(struct file *file, poll_table *wait)
                                                              ^

What action should I take?
Ignore this error because "poll_table" is used everywhere?
Replace "poll_table" with "struct poll_table_struct" according to
definition of "poll_table"?

  typedef struct poll_table_struct {
          poll_queue_proc qproc;
  } poll_table;

Regards.
