This script detects the use of a parenthesis around return value ot the return statements and removes them as they are unnecessary and against the CodingStyle. A new directory called checkpatch is added for semantic patches that just make patches for what checkpatch does. This will help developers having checkpatch problems, to run the semantic patches in this directory on their code and fix some of them automatically.
