Using the one-liner above also makes it harder to
automate checkpatch neatening and avoid using Lindent:

Something like: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/11/794

checkpatch --terse and --emacs options, useful for editing
lines where errors occur, no longer point to the line of
the file being scanned and use the stdin filename "-" and
the line # from stdin.
