Subject: [REPORT] False positive errors found while using
 scripts/checkpatch.pl

The following are reported while using checkpatch.pl on 
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c

ERROR: space prohibited before that close parenthesis ')'
#65: FILE: drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:65:
+define_fbtft_write_reg(fbtft_write_reg8_bus8, u8, u8, )

ERROR: space prohibited before that close parenthesis ')'
#67: FILE: drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:67:
+define_fbtft_write_reg(fbtft_write_reg16_bus16, u16, u16, )

These are false positives as correcting these issues breaks the build.
