In current form, it doesn't fully prevent regressions, for example the
line "except TYPESIGN ucm.c ucma.c" means that new code with such errors
to the files ucm.c/ucma.c will be missed too.

We are talking about the same and our goal is the same too - to see it is merged.
I'm just saying that for the IB part, cleanup of IB/core is needed prior
to merging IB related runcheck.cfg file, so it will include drivers only.

Hiding simply mean that such errors will never be fixed
