Today another set of warning changes is in queue. Will have to check what the
current number has become. It will be low. The start number a while back was
defiantly very high.
Checkpatch.pl is just a guide. Completely changing code for the tool isn't
probably a good idea. It might even get you severally flamed on LKML :) The
recent threads are informative (ok to read, bad to be in).
Incidentally, when I asked the person working these changes, they had reported
0 functional errors had been fixed by the checkpatch changes. A lot of the
noise was typedef reduction.

You are correct that the internal DSP architecture is not opened up only the
ARM side and the peripherals. DSP internals is another topic. You should be
able to compile the ARM side.
A few years back I had heard about some people even successfully running Linux
on the C6x DSP. I think it ran well, but kind of neat all the same. DSPBIOS
or other tiny OSes work much better there.
