checkpatch.pl false positive on exported pointers

WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its function/variable
#563: FILE: drivers/scsi/iioc34x/iioc34x_sas.c:58:
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(iioc34x_transport_template);

drivers/scsi/iioc34x/iioc34x_sas.c:57
struct scsi_transport_template *iioc34x_transport_template;
EXPORT_SYMBOL(iioc34x_transport_template);

I suspect the script wants:
EXPORT_SYMBOL(*iioc34x_transport_template);
...but that does not compile.

Thanks,
Dan
