Subject: cehckpatch config symbol description false positive

Hi Andy, Joe,

When running checkpatch on
http://marc.info/?l=linux-sh&m=141227657322649&w=2
I get a false positive about the Kconfig symbol I just introduced, incl. a help
text:

WARNING: please write a paragraph that describes the config symbol fully
#60: FILE: arch/arm/Kconfig.debug:702:
+ config DEBUG_SCIF

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
