Re: [U-Boot] [RFC PATCH] checkpatch.pl: Add ability to ignore various messages

Dear Joe,

In message b41636a5e5756917b07e50a4b8309dbb092b0a17.1303778411.git.joe@perches.com you wrote:

Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the messages that checkpatch produces.

Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types. Add .checkpatch.conf file to store a default set of "ignore" flags Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK types with flags.

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.

Best regards, Viele Grüße,
