    checkpatch: add variable $OpenOCD
    
    The script checkpatch.pl require some adaptation for OpenOCD that
    cannot be achieved through the config file .checkpatch.conf; the
    script's code has to be modified.
    To merge new version of the script from Linux kernel it becomes
    relevant highlighting the changes, while minimizing the diff wrt
    the initial script.
    
    Add the perl variable '$OpenOCD' and suggest how to highlight
    changes.
