  A checkpatch modification was suggested privately about
braces around an if test like

	if (foo)
		;

so I thought I'd see how many of these possibly pointless
if tests exist.  There aren't many.

Here are a couple in sibyte:

Maybe this should be documented as:

	"well, don't know what to do here"

$ cat if_semi.cocci
@@
expression e;
@@

*	if (e) ;

$ spatch --very-quiet -sp-file if_semi.cocci .

Or pr_devel() / pr_warn() if you want someone to notice it :)
