Honestly,the checkpatch warnings are often garbage too.

The whole deprecation warnings never worked. They don't work in
checkpatch either.

No, because the whole idea of "let me mark something deprecated and
then not just remove it" is GARBAGE.

If somebody wants to deprecate something, it is up to *them* to finish
the job. Not annoy thousands of other developers with idiotic
warnings.
