update checkpatch.pl to version 0.07
This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use. Of note: - checks for documentation for new __setup calls - clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved - reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing - reports on unwanted externs This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it is not intended as the final arbitor of style. Full changelog: Andy Whitcroft (19): Version: 0.07 ensure we do not apply control brace checks to preprocesor directives add {u,s}{8,16,32,64} to the type matcher accept lack of spacing after the semicolons in for (;;) report new externs in .c files fix up typedef exclusion for function prototypes else trailing statements check need to account for \ at end of line add enums to the type matcher add missing check descriptions suppress double reporting of ** spacing report on do{ spacing issues include an example of the brace/parenthesis in output check for spacing after closing braces prevent double reports on pointer spacing issues handle blank continuation lines on macros classify all reports error, warning, or check revamp hanging { checks and apply in context no spaces after the last ; in a for is ok check __setup has a corresponding addition to documentation David Woodhouse (1): limit character set used in patches and descriptions to UTF-8 Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
