WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
#3: FILE: foo.h:3:

WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see
Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt

NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
foo.h has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
Adding a gratuitous blank line after f1 silences the bogus warning.
The volatile warning is ok because this is a hardware written field.
Snip the test file from below.
