Thanks for the reminder! I've used git pre-commit hook to run 
scripts/checkpatch.pl automatically but obviously this hook doesn't
apply to "git rebase --continue" and currently this no git hook that
for this situation. I'll use the following trick [1] to avoid this
mistake in the future,
  $ git rebase -i HEAD~3 --reschedule-failed-exec --exec "git show | perl ./scripts/checkpatch.pl"
