Actually, that one looks like a false positive by the checkpatch tool. 
I'd expect no space after that '*'.  checkpatch has probably got 
confused by the line-break before the '*'.

It looks a bit ugly anyway.  It would look better if there was a 
line-break before the function name, the same as in 
"drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/mite.h":

struct mite_channel *
mite_request_channel_in_range(struct mite_struct *mite,
			      struct mite_dma_descriptor_ring *ring,
			      unsigned min_channel, unsigned max_channel)
