The log message should start with a capital letter, so "Add".

"reported by checkpatch" or "reported by the checkpatch script".
The first is more concise, and it doesn't really matter whether checkpatch
is a script or something else.

I guess the #define was concatenated to the end of the definition to show
that it is closely related to the definition.  With the #define, it seems
rather natural, but the better soltution would be to make a static inline
function in both cases.  There would naturally be a blank line before a
function definition as well.
