There are lots of ways.

I suggest reading the output of $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --help

For instance:

[ after the fact checking ]

$ git checkout -b <branch>
  [ commit one or more changes ]
$ git format-patch -<count_of_commits> -o <directory> 
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl <directory>/*

[ or pipe git diff output to checkpatch ]

$ git checkout -b <branch>
  [ edit files and save changes ]
$ git diff --stat -p | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl

[ or run checkpatch on a particular commit ]

$ ./scripts/checkpatch -g <commit>

[ or run checkpatch.pl on a range of commits ]

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -g <rev1..rev2>
