Markus,

I'm not sure what your question here is?

Is it: "Will coccinelle scripts be run as part of the regular patch
test/merge workflow?" then the answer is that there are no plans
that I'm aware of to do that at this moment.

If such a thing were to be done, IMHO it would be best to have one
of the existing CI systems like e.h. Intel's LKP test bot run this
on linux-next, or on all the trees LKP already monitors.

And it does sound like something interesting to do, but someone
would need to actually setup and maintain such a CI system.

If the question is: "Are patches generated by coccinelle welcome?"
then the answer is "Yes patches generated by coccinelle are very
much welcome".

Regards,

Hans
