[PATCH] checkpatch: support deprecated terms checking

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Wed Jun 10 2020 - 01:11:57 EST


Some terms could be deprecated for various reasons, but it is hard to
update the entire old usages. That said, we could at least encourage
new patches to use the suggested replacements. This commit adds check
of deprecated terms in the 'checkpatch.pl' for that. The script will
get deprecated terms and suggested replacements of those from
'scripts/deprecated_terms.txt' file and warn if the deprecated terms are
used. The mechanism and the format of the file are almost the same as
that of 'spelling.txt'. For the reason, this commit modularizes the
read of the 'spelling.txt' and reuses.
