these checks in our tree now will help with upstreaming
efforts.
A summary of the changes:
(trivial) remove Dave Jones' email
Add initconst attribute
Switch printk exception to logFunctions
check for spaces before a quoted newline
check for space before tabs
improved check spacing on parentheses
improved conditional checking
add some exceptions to multi-statement macro exceptions
Check that the storage class is at the beginning of a declaration

check for various ops structs, ensure they are const.
check for lockdep_set_novalidate_class
The following commits are included:

remove my email address from checkpatch.
Maybe this will stop people emailing me about it.

checkpatch: fix false positive on __initconst
checkpatch falsely complained about '__initconst' because it thought the
'const' needed a space before. Fix this by changing the list of
attributes:
- add '__initconst'
- force plain 'init' to contain a word-boundary at the end

checkpatch: add check for too short Kconfig descriptions
I've seen various new Kconfigs with rather unhelpful one liner
descriptions. Add a Kconfig warning for a minimum length of the Kconfig
help section.
Right now I arbitarily chose 4. The exact value can be debated.

checkpatch: trivial fix for trailing statements check
In case if the statement and the conditional are in one line, the line
appears in the report doubly.
And items of this check have no blank line before the next item.
This patch fixes these trivial problems, to improve readability of the
report.

commit 22fd2d3e4f
Author: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net>
Date: Fri Mar 5 13:43:52 2010 -0800
checkpatch.pl: add union and struct to the exceptions list
Here is a small code snippet, which will be complained about by
checkpatch.pl:
#define __STRUCT_KFIFO_COMMON(recsize, ptrtype) \
union { \
struct { \
unsigned int in; \
unsigned int out; \
}; \
char rectype[recsize]; \
ptrtype *ptr; \
const ptrtype *ptr_const; \
};
This construct is legal and safe, so checkpatch.pl should accept this. It
should be also true for struct defined in a macro.
Add the `struct' and `union' keywords to the exceptions list of the
checkpatch.pl script, to prevent error message "Macros with multiple
statements should be enclosed in a do - while loop". Otherwise it is not
possible to build a struct or union with a macro.

checkpatch: warn on declaration with storage class not at the beginning
The C99 specification states in section 6.11.5:
The placement of a storage-class specifier other than at the beginning
of the declaration specifiers in a declaration is an obsolescent
feature.

lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion
The conversion of device->sem to device->mutex resulted in lockdep
warnings. Create a novalidate class for now until the driver folks
come up with separate classes. That way we have at least the basic
mutex debugging coverage.
Add a checkpatch error so the usage is reserved for device->mutex.
