[PATCH v3 0/4] checkpatch: enhance compatible string checking

[Florian Vaussard]

Hi,

This series proposes a number of fixes and enhancements to the checks
performed on compatible strings:

1) Fix vendor check for strings with dashes
2) Fix spurious vendor warning, when there is no vendor
3) Check for compatible strings in .c and .h files too
4) Match only at the begining of each line in vendor-prefixes.txt

Joe: I have split your patch to perform atomic changes. I also
merged one part into one of my patch. I added your S-o-B on the
corresponding patches, I let you check if you are OK with the changes.

Regards,
Florian
