This won't work for wrong indentation of help text. This is quite
popular Kconfig indentation violation so worth checking. I can then
check for:
1. any white-space violations before array of Kconfig words - that
2. spaces mixed with tab before any text,
3. just spaces before any text,
4. tab + wrong number of spaces before any text.

It would look like:
+               if ($realfile =~ /Kconfig/ &&
+                   (($rawline =~
/^\+\s+(?:config|menuconfig|choice|endchoice|if|endif|menu|endmenu|source|bool|tristate|prompt|help|---help---|depends|select)\b/
&&
+                     $rawline !~ /^\+\t[a-z-]/) ||
+                    $rawline =~ /^\+\t* +\t+ *[a-zA-Z0-9-]/ ||
+                    $rawline =~ /^\+\t( |   )[a-zA-Z0-9-]/)) {

Krzysztof
