I have this simpler solution...let's focus our efforts on moving the two drivers
out of staging. This will prevent the CHK to appear:

Cut from checkpatch.pl:

if ($realfile =~ m@^(?:drivers/net/|net/|drivers/staging/)@) {
	$check = 1;

Existing driver out of staging, with this "problem":
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --types SPACING --file drivers/iio/adc/ad7793.c        
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 827 lines checked

drivers/iio/adc/ad7793.c has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.

NOTE: Used message types: SPACING

In my opinion it would stop this incorrect patches.

I have also this changes to checkpatch.pl:
https://github.com/s-stepien/linux-1/commit/c976a31b392393fb417f2d9e2ec9639bc226ad0b
and usage:
https://github.com/s-stepien/linux-1/commit/1adc0428b496f44f6a931637084bb619ddd9992d
but I'm not that sure it is the best way to go.

What do you all think?
