[PATCH] checkpatch: Add checks for U-Boot

From: Simon Glass
Date: Fri Jan 28 2022 - 18:18:50 EST


U-Boot has built up a small number of checks specific to that code
base. Although it is very similar to Linux, it has some other
requirements specific to its driver model, etc.

It is convenient to upstream these to keep the versions in sync.

Add a new function to handle the U-Boot checks and an option to enable
them.
