<id>de7d4f0e1172a72277d660fa0be59654ea02bed0</id>
<content type='text'>
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

We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree.  These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree.  Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions.  This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

It seems that we need to clarify that a patch series is a series of related
patches rather than "here are some of my patches as multiple (numbered)
emails."
