Hello Marco.

I don't have much of an opinion on this.
I don't actually use checkpatch much.
Why do you think it's useful?

It's Andy's code, I just contribute a few
possible additions here and there.

cheers, Joe

To "debug" a patch from style point of view, I think it's useful to
fix before the errors and then the warnings. So this option it's
useful as a "filter". However, I added you in cc: because of a reply
to my first patch that indicated you as a person interested in this
scope.

Perhaps then it'd be better to filter/enable/disable
the 3 current categories of messages.

Maybe something like this:

Yeah, very good. Will it be inserted in mainline?

Dunno. Maybe if Andy thinks it worthwhile.
He takes his time about this sort of thing.

At a quick skim that seems a more comprehensive approach. I've been lax
as always picking things up but with the quiet time coming I hope to
hoover up the left overs and push them out.

Thanks.
