I mostly run checkpatch to test new checkpatch rules.
I generally don't run it on my own patches, mostly out
of possibly misplaced confidence in my own adherence to
the nominal kernel style. It sometimes leads to mild
regret over things like whitespace defects.
I get over it quickly.
But I also think checkpatch's overall false positive
reporting rate is relatively low. Most all of what
it does to report possible defects is nominally correct.
If anyone has examples of bad reporting by checkpatch,
please send it.
