checkpatch: handle FILE pointer type
When using a "FILE *" type, checkpatch considers this an error:
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxV)
#32: FILE: f.c:8:
+static void a(FILE *const b)
^
Fix this by explicitly defining "FILE" as a common type. This is useful for
user space patches.
With this patch, we now get:
<E> <E> <_>WS( )
<E> <E> <_>IDENT(static)
<E> <V> <_>WS( )
<E> <V> <_>DECLARE(void )
<E> <T> <_>FUNC(a)
<E> <V> <V>PAREN('(')
<EV> <N> <_>DECLARE(FILE *const )
<EV> <T> <_>IDENT(b)
<EV> <V> <_>PAREN(')') -> V
<E> <V> <_>WS(
)
