Did you receive any feedback for your proposal, especially from Andrew Morton? This feature would be really useful for us, but I'd rather see this in mainline than starting a fork.
A better version is in Linus' current 3.0+ as of a couple of days ago. It's not in 3.0.

checkpatch.pl: add ability to ignore various messages
Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces. This can make it easier to use checkpatch in other projects and integrate into scm hook scripts.
Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add option --show-types to emit the "type" of each message. Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK messages with types.
Add optional .checkpatch.conf file to store default options. 3 paths are searched for .checkpatch.conf . customized per-tree configurations $HOME user global configuration when per-tree configs don't exis ./scripts lk defaults to override script The .conf file can contain any valid command-line argument and the contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments. Multiple lines may be used, blank lines are ignored, # is a comment.
Update "false positive" output for readability.
Update version to 0.32
