checkpatch: extend CamelCase types and ignore existing CamelCase uses in a patch
Extend the CamelCase words found to include structure members. In https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/3/318 Sarah Sharp (mostly) wrote: "In general, if checkpatch.pl complains about a variable a patch introduces that's CamelCase, you should pay attention to it. Otherwise, [] ignore it." So, if checking a patch, scan the original patched file if it's available and add any preexisting CamelCase types so reuses do not generate CamelCase messages. That also means Andrew's not so cruelly spurned anymore. https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/22/426Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Suggested-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Suggested-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
