[PATCH v5 0/2] docs: checkpatch: improve handling of Co-developed-by

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Mar 22 2019 - 17:11:45 EST


The recently introduced Co-developed-by: tag has seen a spate of
improper usage, likely because the tag is less intuitive and slightly
more complex than most other tags. Rework the documentation to be more
explicit in how Co-developed-by: is intended to be used, add examples
in the docs, and add logic to checkpatch to reinforce proper usage.

Rewrite the blurb to state standard sign-off procedure should be
followed as opposed to dictating the original author's SOB be last.
