I had a look at trying to update to be based on a newer version of the Linux checkpatch some years ago, but it turned out to not be a trivial thing to do, and we've only diverged further since then. (Which is unfortunate, because I imagine there have been bugfixes to the perl script's handling of parsing fragments of C code which we'd like.) -- PMM
