enclose Macros with complex values in parentheses is especially useful
in making macro definitions “safe” (so that they
evaluate each operand exactly once).
this error reported by chechpatch.pl
"ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses"
for ADE7854_SPI_SLOW, ADE7854_SPI_BURST and ADE7854_SPI_FAST
macros and this error fixed by enclose these macros in parentheses.

enclose -> Enclose, and Macros -> macros
I don't understand the above comment though. How does adding parentheses
around the body of a macro cause the operands to be evaluated only once?
And the macros that you have changed don't have any operands.
The value of adding parentheses is normally to ensure that the body of the
macro doesn't interact with the context in a weird way. For example, you
could have
#define ADD 3 + 4
Then if you use your macro as 6 * ADD, you will end up evaluating
6 * 3 + 4, ie 18 + 4, when you might have expected 6 * 7. The issue is
that * has higher precedence than +.
But I don't think that such a problem can arise with a cast expression, so
parentheses around it should not be necessary.

The last two lines aren't needed. One can easily see that from looking at
the patch.

yes, I mean that but i couldn't explain it well, thanks for your feedback.

So, no need for this patch?

Looping in Dan C explicitly.
Can we revisit this one? It actually leads to a checkpatch ERROR.
So, anyone hoping to get an error free checkpatch run on this file,
is out of luck.
Is this something that checkpatch can learn about and allow, or
should we add the parens here, to dare I say, appease the checkpatch
god ;)

I think you wanted to CC Joe, not me?
I agree with Julia, but I also have slightly kind of given up resisting
on this one when people start adding unnecesary parentheses.
Fixing the COMPLEX_MACRO macro warning to ignore cast operations would
be a great idea for a small project.
