unbalanced bracket in driver?

I am not a programmer.  I took a C course back in 1992.

In checking compatibility of an old HP webcam RZ406AA, I came across a
driver written by your kernel team.  It looked like the bracket on
line 1 below is unbalanced.

Note the bracket at the end of the line that starts with @@, which is
balanced by the bracket on the last line, leaving the first bracket
unclosed.  Perhaps it is closed much further down?
Sincerely,
