Subject: checkpatch.pl --file gives wierd warning

Hi Andy,

With Linus's tree I get the following wierd warning when using the
--file option on checkpatch.pl:
	$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --file drivers/staging/phison/phison.c
	WARNING: patch prefix 'drivers' exists, appears to be a -p0 patch

I'm guessing that this isn't intentional :)

Any ideas?

thanks,

greg k-h
