The read -d option is a bash extension and not avaiable in other

fail with:

Fix by using awk -e and adding necessary double backslash.

The flavour of awk that's installed by default on Ubuntu is 'mawk' which
does
not seem to have a '-e' option. However, for anyone tryung to run
checkpatch
on Ubuntu with this patch, the quickest workaround is to install 'gawk',
which does have the -e option, then this patch works great.
Rgds,
Dave.
