Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: avoid default n
Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2019 16:30:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190703083031.2950-1-miles.chen@mediatek.com> (raw)

This change reports a warning when "default n" is used.

I have seen several "remove default n" patches, so I think
it might be helpful to add this test in checkpatch.

tested:
WARNING: 'default n' is the default value, no need to write it explicitly.
+       default n
