Hi All,
I am trying to run checkpatch.pl on linux-next tree's staging folder.
But whatever sub directory, I try to run it on. It is giving me the
same error for all the files :
ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch
I thought that it might be a problem with my git. So I clone the git tree again.
So can anyone help me, what am I missing ?
Regards
Rahul

If it's not a patch, you have to use -f flag to check a plain source
file.

Use -f for giving files as input
If you have a real patch then just give the patch name

Dear Rahul,
It seems that while running ./script/checkpatch.pl you are missing flags.
I think try this command:
./scripts/checkpatch.pl --file --terse ./drivers/staging/comedi/drives/<your
file name>
