Not infinitely, just need to wait for a long time.

checkpatch.pl works fine, it report like this:

ERROR: space required after that ',' (ctx:VxV)

+0x01,0x00,0x00,0x08,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,};
                        ^

That file miss so many whitespace after ',' from checkpatch point of view.
Anyway, forget it, checkpatch.pl is not recommended to check those files.
