Ccing Linus Walleij, who added this, and Kees, who apparently came up
with this originally.

Argh :-/

It's still totally unclear if that or a similar patch will be accepted.
And even if it is: the "don't do two different things in one commit"
rule might not be that strict enforced when it comes to the Linux
kernel's docs, but changing this regexp as part of another patch crosses
the line.

IOW: we afaics need a separate patch to make the regexp
case-insensitively. Eric, do you want to submit one, as you brought it
up? Or are there any other volunteers?

Ciao, Thorsten
