From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]> This patchset 1) adds support of deprecated terms in the 'checkpatch.pl' and 2) set the 'blacklist' and 'whitelist' as deprecated with replacement suggestion of 'denylist' and 'allowlist', because the suggestions are incontrovertible, doesn't make people hurt, and more self-explanatory.
The patches are based on latest 'next/master'.
