Yes, of course :).
You mentioned checkpatch. But checkpatch doesn't warn about it. Or does
it?
|linux (git)-[master] % ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -- drivers/net/dsa/hirschmann/hellcreek.h
|total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 321 lines checked
|
|drivers/net/dsa/hirschmann/hellcreek.h has no obvious style problems and
|is ready for submission.
What about something like this?
|linux (git)-[master*] % ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -- drivers/net/dsa/hirschmann/hellcreek.h
|WARNING: License expression operators (AND, OR, WITH) should be upper case
|#1: FILE: drivers/net/dsa/hirschmann/hellcreek.h:1:
|+/* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 or MIT) */
|
|total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 321 lines checked
|
|NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
| mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
|
|drivers/net/dsa/hirschmann/hellcreek.h has style problems, please review.
|
|NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
| them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
Thanks,
Kurt
