checkpatch: allow multiple const * types
checkpatch's $Type variable does not match declarations of multiple
const * types.
This can produce false positives for things like:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/staging/comedi/comedidev.h
WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
#60: FILE: drivers/staging/comedi/comedidev.h:60:
+ const struct comedi_lrange *range_table;
+ const struct comedi_lrange *const *range_table_list;
Fix the $Type variable to support matching multiple "* const" uses.
