Andrew is correct.  The Greybus code does not strictly follow
the "reverse christmas tree" convention, so there is no need
to do that here.  Please understand that, while checkpatch.pl
offers good and well-intentioned advice, not everything it
warns about must be fixed, and in some cases it suggests things
certain maintainers don't agree with.
