Thank you for kindly explaining your concern.  I personally thought the verbose
warning is not a real problem.  Anyway, how about below patch, then?  It will
show only one warning or check for each of the terms.

Subject: [PATCH] scripts/deprecatd_terms: provide references

Deprecation of terms could have special rules.  For example, 'slave' is
ok for existing usages.  Same to 'master', but it's also ok unless it's
used with 'slave'.  This commit provides the references for such rules.

Also, because the report became more verbose a little, this commit makes
the report to be made for only one instance of each deprecated term.
