COVER LETTER: [RFC] update checkpatch
--- EMPTY COMMIT --- DO NOT MERGE --- TO BE ABANDONED ---
The checkpatch script included in OpenOCD source code has been
taken from Linux kernel commit e060c38434b2, a merge commit on
2011 Sep 15, somehow between v3.1-rc6 and v3.1.
Updating the script with a more recent one implies to update the
OpenOCD code in order to silent the "new" complains of the script.
So far, the most intrusive complain I have identified is the new
licensing scheme used in Linux kernel (and already adopted in
U-Boot and many other SW packages) based on SPDX [1] [2].
For the moment I have silent it in .checkpatch.conf, but we have
lost the check on the old GPL header!
This patch series is marked as [RFC] because I would like to get
feedback before starting the boring process of replacing all the
GPL headers with the SPDX line (my plan is to use scripts as much
as possible).
I see some value in using the new checkpatch to get access to all
the fixes that has been merged in the last 7+ years, but we risk
to get also all the new specific kernel hooks that do not apply to
OpenOCD.
If you have time, give it a try.
But if instead you think the new checkpatch brings more issues
than benefits, then let's drop this change set!
On my side I will try to enable the extra flag "--strict". Today
it complains too much!
