If you want to make changes to checkpatch, please
send patches to the checkpatch maintainers.

Don't break other parsing of $2/#extension.

If you really need to know whatever follows the specific
extension letter use another capture group.

			while ($fmt =~  /(\%[\*\d\.]*p(\w)(\w*))/g) {
				$specifier = $1;
				$extension = $2;
				$qualifier = $3;

etc...

Then verify $qualifier or $3 is not undef if necessary
