Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/3] Add missing types to checkpatch.pl --list-types

Oh, btw, is there any purpose in listing a number in front of each
type? It makes it look like one can pass that number instead of the
type name, however it doesn't work, and I don't think it should as the
numbering isn't stable and could change with any update of the script.

Can't we simplify the output and simply print the list of type names?

Thanks,
