I did below check, but I got no warning.
# ./scripts/checkpatch.pl v4-0002-riscv-Optimize-bitops-with-Zbb-extension.patch
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 280 lines checked
May I know how you do the check?
BTW, I see arch/riscv/include/asm/jump_label.h and arch/riscv/include/asm/cpufeature.h have similar code.
