• df24d9a6a   Documentation: prune redundant SubmitChecklist items ... Browse Code »

  Kernel style is mentioned twice, and the git apply trick is a bit redundant
  given the checkpatch.pl recommendation (which also checks for bad
  whitespace).

• 0a920b5b6   add a trivial patch style checker ... Browse Code »

  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.
