So...when you send multiple patches with the same subject line that's
always a bad sign.  We really want a "git --oneline" listing to give a
good idea of what the patch does, and that depends on more descriptive
subject lines.

In this case, something like:

  docs: checkpatch: add UNNECESSARY/UNSPECIFIED_INT and UNNECESSARY_ELSE

I can fix up these two patches, but please try to keep this in mind for
future work.

(applying the patches now).

Thanks,
