Subject: [PATCH] try to fix false positives reports of checkpatch.pl

From: Cedric Le Goater <clg@...ibm.com>

This is an humble attempt to fix these reports that seem to be false positives. 
aren't they ? If so, you should triple check the fix because I got lost in the 
'elsif' and I took the first shortcut I found :)

Thanks for maintaining checkpatch.pl. it's a great tool.
