Subject: any value in running my kernel scanning scripts before release?

  normally i wait for the merge window, then run my kernel scanning
scripts and post results.  any interest in me doing that earlier?  i
just did a quick test and found a number of incongruities like, for
example:

$ grep -r "config QT2160" *
drivers/input/keyboard/Kconfig:config QT2160
$

$ grep -r KEYBOARD_QT2160 *
drivers/input/keyboard/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_KEYBOARD_QT2160) += qt2160.o
$

  which is a fairly obvious mismatch between the config variable and
the test, yes?

  anyway, i'm open to suggestions.
