We attempt to search for compatible strings which use a variable token in
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.

With this change, the number of missing compatible strings reported in
arch/arm/boot/dts is reduced from 1071 to 960.

Currently the parenthesis alignment test works only on misalignments of
if statements like

	if (foo(bar,

Expand the test to find misalignments like:

static inline int foo(int bar,
			int baz)

and

	foo(bar,
			baz);

and

	foo = bar(baz,
			qux);

Expand the $Inline keyword for __inline and __inline__ too.
Add $Inline to $Declare so it also matches "static inline <foo>".

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.

There are no plans to remove __GFP_NOFAIL.

__GFP_NOFAIL exists to

a) centralise the retry-allocation-for-ever operation into the core
   allocator, which is the appropriate implementation site and

b) permit us to identify code sites which aren't handling memory

Networking prefers this style, so warn when it's not used.

Networking uses:

    void foo(int bar)
    {

        code...
   }

not

    void foo(int bar)

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.

This change restricts the check for the for the FSF address in the GPL
copyright statement so that it only flags the address, not the
references to the gnu.org/licenses URL which appears to be used in
numerous drivers.  The idea is to still allow some reference to an
external copy of the GPL in the event that files are copied out of the
kernel tree without the COPYING file.

So for example this statement will still return an error:
  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
  Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

switch case statements missing a break statement are an unfortunately
common error.

e.g.:
  commit 4a2c94c9 ("HID: kye: Add report fixup for Genius Manticore Keyboard")

case blocks should end in a break/return/goto/continue.

If a fall-through is used, it should have a comment showing that it is
intentional.  Ideally that comment should be something like:
"/* fall-through */"

Add a test to look for missing break statements.

This looks only at the context lines before an inserted case so it's
possible to have false positives when the context contains a close brace
and the break is before the brace and not part of the patch context.

Looking at recent patches, this is a pretty rare occurrence.  The normal
kernel style uses a break as the last line of the previous block.
