Subject: [PATCH] scripts/checkpatch.pl: don't complain about (foo, /* empty
 */)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It's quite common to have a mini comment inside braces to acknowledge
we know it's empty. Expand the inline detection to allow closing
braces before the end of line.
