2021-06-14	docs: checkpatch: Document and segregate more checkpatch message types	Dwaipayan Ray	1	-71/+328
	Add and document more checkpatch message types. About 50% of all message types are documented now. In addition to this: - Create a new subsection 'Indentation and Line Breaks'. - Rename subsection 'Comment style' to simply 'Comments'. - Refactor some of the existing types to appropriate subsections.

2021-05-20	Documentation: checkpatch: Tweak BIT() macro include	Andrew Jeffery	1	-1/+1
	While include/linux/bitops.h brings in the BIT() macro, it was moved to include/linux/bits.h in commit 8bd9cb51daac ("locking/atomics, asm-generic: Move some macros from <linux/bitops.h> to a new <linux/bits.h> file"). Since that commit BIT() has moved again into include/vdso/bits.h via commit 3945ff37d2f4 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO"). I think the move to the vDSO header can be considered an implementation detail, so for now update the checkpatch documentation to recommend use of include/linux/bits.h.
