Well if I try instead:

@@ -101,9 +101,9 @@ int of_workarounds;
 } while (0)

 #ifdef DEBUG_PROM
-#define prom_debug(x...) prom_printf(x)
+#define prom_debug(x...) do { prom_printf(x); } while (0)
 #else
-#define prom_debug(x...)
+#define prom_debug(x...) do { } while (0)
 #endif


the checkpatch script returns:

WARNING: Single statement macros should not use a do {} while (0) loop
#33: FILE: arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c:104:
+#define prom_debug(x...) do { prom_printf(x); } while (0)


So I suspect we cannot do much better than my original patch unfortunately.
