It's fine to include a reference to the standard.  The way you've done it here 
makes it look like a quote at first glance, which it isn't.  You should just 
say "See C99 6.5.2.5p6" if you think that's an important citation to make.

In this case, though, I don't think it's a particularly valuable citation.  
Remember that this code is in the middle of a function dedicated to the rules 
of section 6.5.2.5, so unless you're actually quoting the text because there's 
some important subtlety, I think you can assume general familiarity (and/or 
that the reader has the standard open).  There *is* a better citation, though: 
the Embedded C spec explicitly says:

  If the compound literal occurs inside the body of a function, the type name 
shall not be qualified by an address-space qualifier.

I'd cite it with a title like "Embedded C modifications to C99 6.5.2.5".

By the way, LLVM code style leaves a space between `if` and the opening 
parenthesis of the condition.
