I noticed that a patch got committed to checkpatch to complain about function
prototypes prefixed by "extern".
Please discard/revert this patch:

checkpatch: warn when using extern with function prototypes in .h files
Using the extern keyword on function prototypes is superfluous visual
noise so suggest removing it.
This is inaccurate. It's actually a useful visual cue - so if anything, please
make checkpatch indicate that it be added to all future function prototypes.
