<shrug> You could make the same argument that it should skip .o files if you fed it to checkpatch on the command line. I think the correct thing is to feed only files you want scanned to checkpatch. git ls-files arch/ | xargs ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
