Subject: checkpatch: fix unescaped left brace
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03f4935135b9efeb780b970ba023c201f81cf4e6;p=linux.git

checkpatch: fix unescaped left brace

There is an unescaped left brace in a regex in OPEN_BRACE check.  This
throws a runtime error when checkpatch is run with --fix flag and the
OPEN_BRACE check is executed.

Fix it by escaping the left brace.
