Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] checkpatch: enhance compatible string checking

Hi,

This series proposes a number of fixes and enhancements to the checks
performed on compatible strings:

1) Fix vendor check for strings with dashes
2) Fix spurious vendor warning, when there is no vendor
3) Check for compatible strings in .c and .h files too
4) Match only at the begining of each line in vendor-prefixes.txt

Regards,
Florian

Since v3 [3]:

1) check compatible also in .[ch] files
2) match strings at the begining of vendor-prefixes.txt
3) minor cleanups

Since v1 [1]:
- Add check for vendors with '-', as suggested by Joe Perches
