Don't complain about camelcase when using SUPPORTED_*/ADVERTISED_*
defines, they are part of the user api so can't be (easily) fixed.

Removes false positives in e.g. ethernet drivers like:

WARNING: Avoid CamelCase: <SUPPORTED_Autoneg>
+                                     SUPPORTED_Autoneg |

CamelCase was downgraded recently to a --strict test.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/11/273

Still, there's a large quantity of CamelCase names in
include/... that would still exist in any case.

A complete whitelist would be very long.
