Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] checkpatch: warn for use of %px

Hi Andrew,

This is a resurrection of a patch set from last December.  There was
some confusion (on my behalf) as to how patches to checkpatch got into
the mainline.  Are you willing (and able) to take patches to
checkpatch.pl?

Patch 1 through 3 are cleanup/refactoring patches.

Patch 3 makes checkpatch emit a warning for usage of specifier %px.

You may remember that the initial idea for this was from yourself, v1
requested permission to use 'Suggested-by' tag.  I didn't get comment on
that so v2 removed the tag.  (I'm not totally across when one should add
the 'Suggested-by' tag.)

thanks,
Tobin.

v3:
 - rebase onto 4.16-rc3
 - separate 'remove unused variable' into it's own patch

v2:
 - change new sub name stat_real() -> get_stat_real()
 - add new sub get_stat_here()
 - move the addition of new sub routines into separate patches
 - add 'Acked-by' tag for Joe
 - remove 'Suggested-by' tag for Andrew Morton

Tobin C. Harding (4):
  checkpatch: add sub routine get_stat_real()
  checkpatch: remove unused variable declarations
  checkpatch: add sub routine get_stat_here()
  checkpatch: warn for use of %px
