Sure. Here you have file after editing and patch between original and 
file you get. File passes all checks, patch generates error:

{pts/2}% ~/src/linux-git/scripts/checkpatch.pl --file hermes.c
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 554 lines checked

hermes.c has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
{pts/2}% ~/src/linux-git/scripts/checkpatch.pl or/02-orinoco-cleanup-
hermes.c
ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line
#42: FILE: drivers/net/wireless/orinoco/hermes.c:65:
+                       printk(stuff); } while (0)
+                       printk(stuff); } while (0)
total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 288 lines checked

or/02-orinoco-cleanup-hermes.c has style problems, please review.  If 
any of these errors
are false positives report them to the maintainer, see
CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
