[PATCH v3 2/2] checkpatch: warn on known non-plural rust doc headers
From: Patrick Miller
Date: Thu Sep 12 2024 - 15:57:14 EST
Adds a check for documentation in rust file. Warns if certain known
documentation headers are not plural.
The rust maintainers prefer document headers to be plural. This is to enforce
consistency among the documentation as well as to protect against errors when
additions are made. For example, if the header said "Example" because there was
only 1 example, if a second example was added, making the header plural could
easily be missed and the maintainers prefer to not have to remind people to fix
their documentation.
