Obviously.
I think Propercase should be discouraged.

Excuse me, but "Joe happens to think that something should be discouraged"
is not a problem. "Joe uses checkpatch.pl as force multiplier, recruiting
hundreds of monkeys to enforce his personal preferences", OTOH, very much is.
You are calling for ban on any mixed-case identifiers. I see at least three
cases where they can be legitimate:
* labels a-la Enomem, etc. I've been using those and I will
keep doing so, checkpatch.pl and its users be damned.
* enum members, to distinguish those from defines (first letter
capitalized vs. all-caps).
* (local) typedefs for structs; I really don't like their use for
anything non-local, but IMO they have their uses in cases like e.g.
fs/binfmt_misc.c
Besides that CamelCase is one character less long than camel_case.
I'm awaiting kernel developer uniforms. There are too many different
black t-shirts around. ;)
