I will replace all DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLEs with 'const struct pci_device_id',
and remove the definition of DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro.

it will make  build error.

And that will make the checkpatch warning go away ?
That seems to be very unlikely.

OK, I will ask Joe Perches to remove the following checkpatch
warning.

    WARNING: Use DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE for struct pci_device_id

Thanks... ;)

Actually, I think I submitted an even uglier macro called 
DECLARE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE... might have been the first kernel patch I 
ever sent?  In any case, it should certainly have been kindly rejected. 
  After it hit mainline Andrew Morton just about choked on his tea and 
renamed it DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE.

Feel free to just remove the macro; it serves no purpose but to confuse. 
  That said, the underlying issue that the macro was supposed to resolve 
(if I recall correctly) was to make sure that all the struct 
pci_device_id instances were marked as const, as per the PCI 
documentation; if there's something checkpatch should be warning for 
it's simply that the struct is const.
