Subject: WARNING: Unnecessary parentheses - maybe == should be = ?

These messages are terrifying...  We do not want to encourage a million
first patch submitters to start introducing = vs == bugs.

Did you look through the warning messages this generates?  Was it ever
appropriate to change the == to =?

Please remove the second part of that message.

Also there needs to be a mailing list for checkpatch.pl.  LKML is a
write only archive, but it's not a discussion list.

Also the seq_puts() warning messages should be put under --strict
because we have to fight against people submitting those patches.

regards,
dan carpenter
