I think that there is no point for these things, because checkpatch
already gives warnings about this issue.

It could be nice for the provided rules to actually depend on patch.  But
in the context of make coccicheck, it doesn't matter, because attempts to
run the rule in another mode will just fail, due to the mode not being
declared.
