This warns on patch context lines.
That's not something checkpatch generally does.

Likely this should use /^\+ rather than /^.

And it's nice to have --fix capability

			if (WARN("etc...") &&
			    $fix) {
				$fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/\s*#\s*include\s*\<asm\/export\.h\>/#include <linux/export.h>/;
			}
