 patch

This started happening when I run checkpatch on pretty much anything.

triggered by the b in this snipped for example


diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-pxa/stargate2.c b/arch/arm/mach-pxa/stargate2.c

 #include <linux/mfd/da903x.h>


Anyone else seeing this or have a clue what the heck is going on?
