I like this - And checkpatch.pl could set the default options for 'Linux flavour' so Linux would not need a .conf file :)

I don't see a problem with it, I'd ack patches if the design and implementation is reasonably clean, but it's not really for me to decide.
Another possibility is to keep all the uboot specific stuff in a separate .pl file and let that file be executed by checkpatch. Modularity and such is good.
Andy Whitcroft is the nominal maintainer, but he hasn't been particularly active with checkpatch for awhile as his real job seems to keep him busy.
Andrew Morton has been overseeing most of the trivial style maintenance patches to checkpatch for the last year or so.
