Please don't run checkpatch.pl on in-kernel files.
The tool is designed to check patches, not files.
Such whitespace cleanups pollute the kernel history, i.e. such that
git blame returns false positives.

The purpose of --file is:
- Checking out-of-tree files (like existing drivers to be imported)
- One notable exception is drivers/staging/, you can run it on these files.
