The only intentional differences we have today are adding debug/printf
to the list of log functions and pointing people at boards.cfg not
CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS, so I can re-sync us no problem as, yup, we're
about a year out of date there.  Oh and I see now someone snuck in a
check for whitespace before semi-colon to catch 'return 0 ;' which I'll
check real quick isn't something already caught and if not post that as
well.
