Using an else following a break or return can unnecessarily indent code
blocks.

ie:
	for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
		int foo = bar();
		if (foo < 1)
			break;
		else
			usleep(1);
	}

is generally better written as:

	for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
		int foo = bar();
		if (foo < 1)
			break;
		usleep(1);
	}

Warn when a bare else statement is preceded by a break or return
indented 1 tab more than the else.

Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are
generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump
done by the memory subsystem.

These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value.

Emit a warning on these types of messages.

This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the
previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then
looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo =
kmalloc()"

ie: this code matches:

	foo = kmalloc();
	if (foo == NULL) {
		printk("Out of memory\n");
		return -ENOMEM;
	}

This test is very crude and incomplete.

This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this
specific form.

ie: this code does not match:

	foo = kmalloc();
	if (!foo) {
		rtn = -ENOMEM;
		printk("Out of memory!\n");
		goto out;
	}

This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself
does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false
positives in my limited testing.

spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for
that tool too.

the documented name such as <chip> or <soc>.  While this was attempted to
be handled, it's utterly broken.

The desired forms of matching are:

vendor,<chip>-*
vendor,name<part#>-*

For <chip>, lower case characters and numbers are permitted.  For <part#>,
only numeric values are allowed.

A commit hook for the Gerrit code review server [1] inserts change
identifiers so Gerrit can track patches through multiple revisions.
These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel.
(Many Gerrit servers are private.  Even given a public instance, given
only a Change-Id, one must guess which server a change was tracked on.
Patches submitted to the Linux kernel mailing lists should be able to
stand on their own.  If it's truly useful to reference code review on a
Gerrit server, a URL is a much clearer way to do so.) Thus, issue an
error when a Change-Id line is encountered before the Signed-off-by.

This test is a bit noisy and opinions seem to agree that it should not
warn in a lot more situations.

It seems people agree that:

	return (foo || bar);
and
	return foo || bar;

are both acceptable style and checkpatch should be silent about them.

For now, it warns on parentheses around a simple constant or a single
function or a ternary.

	return (foo);
	return (foo(bar));
	return (foo ? bar : baz);

The last ternary test may be quieted in the future.

Modify the deparenthesize function to only strip balanced leading and
trailing parentheses.
