Re: [Ksummit-discuss] checkkpatch (in)sanity ?

[Dan Carpenter]

I would like a couple changes which you know already:

1) Get rid of PREFER_ETHER_ADDR_COPY and similar because the people who
send checkpatch.pl fixes aren't qualified to say when it's legal or not
so they sometimes introduce bugs.

2) We could put some text in the output of --file output to say that if
it's not a staging patch, then we don't care about just making
checkpatch happy.  So consider if it is a waste of maintainer time
before sending.
