Subject: Should we relax precheck a little bit?

Hi all,
The precheck ensure the whole file content comform to the coding
style, this strategy has several problems:
1.Many source file in mainline already violate the coding style
2.nxstyle frequently generate the false alarm in the current stage
How about we let precheck just ensure the modified line don't violate
the coding standards?
I am asking this question because:
1.The change in PR 471 has a very good shape:
     https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/471/files
   but the whole file precheck complain there are many errors:
     
https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/471/checks?check_run_id=492244725
   It is unfair to require the contributor to fix the issue not made by
them.
2.Most PR will fail at precheck stage due to item 1 and then block the
more important build test.

Thanks
Xiang
