on my perl v5.20 I got:
Useless use of greediness modifier '+' in regex; marked by
<-- HERE in m/(^\+.*) {8,8}+ <-- HERE \t/ at ./scripts/checkpatch.pl line
2427.
greediness modifier '+' in construction '\s{8,8}+' does not make
any sense, because we already specify how many chars do we expect.
Also we can avoid second ',8' and use simple '\s{8}'.
