[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: checkpatch: warn when formats use %Z and suggest %z
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     checkpatchpl-warn-against-using-%z.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
Subject: checkpatch: warn when formats use %Z and suggest %z

vsnprintf extension %Z<foo> is non-standard C.
Suggest the use of %z instead.

Miscellanea:

o Correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL
  type strings are supposed to be uppercase only.
  Fix this and add tr/[a-z]/[A-Z] to the type check in case
  I forget this again sometime in the future.
o Improve the mechanism to find these defects so all
  3 current checks are done on the format string
