I doubt such a tool exists yet, but one could reuse some parts of get_maintainers, especially parsing the F:-tags from MAINTAINERS. I think I will try something like this after rc1 for my current semantic patch: - grep for directories where 'i2c_clientdata' is used - run spatch on that directory - prepend a standard description + output of get_maintainers to the patch - check if all made sense :) This should be reasonably fast and should not involve too much doing by hand (fingers crossed). Thank you for fixing the issues I mentioned! Regards, Wolfram -- Pengutronix e.K. | Wolfram Sang | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ |
