Hello Tom, I already raised that issue to the Kernel people and they were not interested in fixing it: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/17/1086 Recently a lot of changes have been done to the U-Boot version of checkpatch.pl. Do we want to diverge from the upstream and have a lot of work each time we try to sync? Or should we use checkpatch.pl as is and live without U-Boot specific stuff? Best regards Heinrich
