Hi,
This is the semi-friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.
Markus, you seem to have sent a nonsensical or otherwise pointless
review comment to a patch submission on a Linux kernel developer mailing
list. I strongly suggest that you not do this anymore. Please do not
bother developers who are actively working to produce patches and
features with comments that, in the end, are a waste of time.
Patch submitter, please ignore Markus's suggestion; you do not need to
follow it at all. The person/bot/AI that sent it is being ignored by
almost all Linux kernel maintainers for having a persistent pattern of
behavior of producing distracting and pointless commentary, and
inability to adapt to feedback. Please feel free to also ignore emails
from them.
thanks,

+C variable is used by the makefile to select which files to work with.
+This variable can be used to run scripts for the entire kernel, a
+specific directory, or for a single file.
- make C=1 CHECK="scripts/coccicheck"
+For example, to check drivers/bluetooth/bfusb.c, the value 1 is
+passed to the C variable to check files that make considers
+need to be compiled.::
-To check only newly edited code, use the value 2 for the C flag, i.e.::

- make C=2 CHECK="scripts/coccicheck"
+The value 2 is passed to the C variable to check files regardless of
