I am seeing these error and warns. As per our hallway conversation, the "for_each*" in the test naming is tripping up checkpatch.pl
For now you can change the name a bit to not trip checkpatch and maybe explore fixing checkpatch to differentiate between function names with "for_each" in them vs. the actual for_each usages in the code.

It's better to ignore checkpatch and other scripts when they are wrong. (unless the warning message inspires you to make the code more readable for humans).
True.
