Subject: [PATCH] Fix a argument WARN bug of scripts/checkpatch.pl

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your help.

Best,
Hui

The following part is the original patch:

Get following error with a patch that have min_t error:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
scripts/checkpatch.pl line 1256.
WARNING:
This is because:
				}
				WARN("$call() should probably be ${call}_t($cast, $arg1, $arg2)\n" . $herecurr);
			}
It lost the first argument.
So make a patch to fix it.
