Hello Viresh,
When I use -C -M options, checkpatch reports error:
[tangyt@titan linux-pm]$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl
0002-cpufreq-qoriq-rename-the-driver.patch
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#15:
drivers/cpufreq/{ppc-corenet-cpufreq.c => qoriq-cpufreq.c} | 0
ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch

0002-cpufreq-qoriq-rename-the-driver.patch has style problems, please review.
I just rename it and do not change anyting. Isn't that allowed?
Thanks,
Yuantian
