This version brings a some new tests, and a host of changes to fix
false positives, of particular note:

- detect 'var ++;' and 'var --;' as a bad combination
- multistatement #defines are now checked based on statement count
- multistatement #defines with initialisation correctly reported
- checks the location of the inline keywords
- EXPORT_SYMBOL for variables are now understood
- typedefs are loosened to handle sparse etc

This version of checkpatch.pl can be found at the following URL:

http://www.shadowen.org/~apw/public/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-0.05

Full Changelog:

Andy Whitcroft (18):
Version: 0.05
macro definition checks should be for a single statement
avoid assignements only in if conditionals
declarations of function pointers need no space
multiline macros which are purely initialisation cannot be wrapped
EXPORT_SYMBOL can also directly follow a variable definition
check on the location of the inline keyword
EXPORT_SYMBOL needs to allow for attributes
ensure we do not find C99 // in strings
handle malformed #include lines
accept the {0,} form
typedefs are sensible for defining function pointer parameters
ensure { handling correctly handles nested switch() statements
trailing whitespace checks are not anchored
typedefs for sparse bitwise annotations make sense
update the type matcher to include sparse annotations
clean up indent and spacing
