  • Thread-topic: [PATCH v4] misra: add deviations of MISRA C Rule 5.5

MISRA C Rule 5.5 states: "Identifiers shall be distinct from macro names".

Update ECLAIR configuration to deviate clashes: specify the macros that
should be ignored. Update deviations.rst and rules.rst accordingly.

Signed-off-by: Dmytro Prokopchuk <dmytro_prokopchuk1@xxxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
- fixed formatting (aligned length chars per line)
- set 'ignored_macros' as a regex expression
- set a deviation restriction on xen/common/grant_table.c
- s/ensures/to ensure/
- fixed grammar errors
