I suggest to combine the desired adjustment with the previous SmPL rule
by using another disjunction.

How does the SmPL asterisk functionality fit to the operation
modes “org” and “report”?

Make coccicheck uses --no-show-diff for org and report modes, so the * has
no effect in those cases.

* Can it be nicer to generate only required data for each operation mode?

* Would you like to compare the usage of this command parameter with other
  design approaches?
