[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2 0/7] checkpatch: Misc. cleanups, and a new feature

This series cleans up and clarifies certain issues in the checkpatch
infrastructure.  Additionally, a fix for the some of the matches is included.

The two features added by this series are:
1. The ability to parse a non-patch file (useful for applying cleanups to
   existing code)
2. Printing the line number where a change occurs in the file, instead of
   in the patchfile.

With these two features, a simple script
    for check_file in lib/*.c; do ./utilities/checkpatch.py -f $check_file; done

will print a number of violations (hopefully, correctly!).

Aaron Conole (7):
  checkpatch: Announce the file where errors occur
  checkpatch: Print the line in question distinctly
  checkpatch: convert some of the warnings
  checkpatch: Print file line numbers
  checkpatch: Fix signoff error
  checkpatch: Add file-parsing mode
  checkpatch: fix the if and whitespace checks
