This check was intended to catch extra newlines at the end of a function
definition, but it would trigger on any closing brace, including those
of inline functions and macro definitions, triggering false positives.
Now, only closing braces on a line by themselves trigger this check.
Tested with:
$ cat test.h
/* test.h - Test file */
static inline int foo(void) { return 0; }

instead of a hard-coded number; there is no way for checkpatch to know the

Instead, reverse the order of the 2 searches in $Constant to find 0x

checkpatch already makes an exception to the 80-column rule for quoted
strings, and Documentation/CodingStyle recommends not splitting quoted
strings across lines, because it breaks the ability to grep for the
string. Rather than just permitting this, actively warn about quoted
strings split across lines.
Test case:
void context(void)
{
struct { unsigned magic; const char *strdata; } foo[] = {
{ 42, "these strings"
"do not produce warnings" },
{ 256, "though perhaps"
"they should" },

" should produce a warning\n");
pr_err("this multi-line string\n"
"should not produce a warning\n");

Results of checkpatch on that test case:
