Hi Michael,
That's odd. I don't get any CHECK messages if I run exactly the same command as above:
$ pwd /home/sevinj/k/staging/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core $ ~/k/staging/scripts/checkpatch.pl -f rtw_mlme.c | grep 'CHECK:' | wc -l 0
I have to specify --strict to get CHECK messages:
$ ~/k/staging/scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f rtw_mlme.c | grep 'CHECK:' | wc -l 167
I don't know why that is. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 and it looks like I'm running checkpatch version 0.32:
$ ~/k/staging/scripts/checkpatch.pl -h Usage: /home/sevinj/k/staging/scripts/checkpatch.pl [OPTION]... [FILE]... Version: 0.32
