checkpatch: ignore warning designated initializers using NR_CPUS
Some max_length wants to hold as large room as possible to ensure enough size to tackle with the biggest NR_CPUS. An example below: kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c: static struct cftype legacy_files[] = { { .name = "cpus", .seq_show = cpuset_common_seq_show, .write = cpuset_write_resmask, .max_write_len = (100U + 6 * NR_CPUS), .private = FILE_CPULIST, }, ... } Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/5d4998aa8a8ac7efada2c7daffa9e73559f8b186.1609331255.git.rocking@linux.alibaba.com Signed-off-by: Peng Wang <rocking@linux.alibaba.com> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
