[PATCH v3] checkpatch: get default codespell dictionary path from package location

From: Peter Ujfalusi
Date: Mon Oct 11 2021 - 05:37:45 EST


The standard location of dictionary.txt is under codespell's package, on
my machine atm (codespell 2.1, Artix Linux):
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt

Since we enable the codespell by default for SOF I have constant:
No codespell typos will be found - \
file '/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt': No such file or directory

The patch proposes to try to fix up the path following the recommendation
found here:
https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell/issues/1540

Hi,

Changes since v2:
- Only try to check for dictionary path it is enabled or when the help is
displayed
- Move the check after the GetOptions()
- Set $help to 2 in case invalid option is passed in order to be able to use
correct exitcode and still display the correct path for dictionary.txt

Changes sicne v1:
- add missing ';' to the line updating the $codespellfile with $codespell_dict

Regards,
Peter
