Thanks a lot for working on checkpatch.  It's great to have more and
better tools for keeping quality high.

But I still get flake8 errors.

Added in patch 1, fixed in patch 5:
../utilities/checkpatch.py:180:12: E999 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Added in patch 3, never fixed:
../utilities/checkpatch.py:202:14: E241 multiple spaces after ':'

Thanks,

Ben.
