8e3072a23f SubmittingPatches: document the use of git
Most of the mechanical portions of SubmittingPatches exist to help patch
submitters replicate the output of git.  Mention this explicitly, both
as a reminder that git will help with this process, and as signposting
to let git users know what they can safely skip.

9547c706d2 SubmittingPatches: add recommendation for mailing list references
SubmittingPatches already mentions referencing bugs fixed by a commit,
but doesn't mention citing relevant mailing list discussions.  Add a
note to that effect, along with a recommendation to use the
https://lkml.kernel.org/ redirector.

Portions based on text from git's SubmittingPatches.

74a475acea SubmittingPatches: add style recommendation to use imperative descriptions
Most commit messages use this style, and the recommendation frequently
comes up in discussions (especially in response to patches that don't
use it), but that recommendation doesn't actually appear anywhere in
Documentation.  Add this style guideline to SubmittingPatches, using the
description from git's SubmittingPatches.

vain) hope that maintainers won't end up having to rewrite the git

and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the

This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).

This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.

de7d4f0e11 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.07
This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase
positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use.  Of
note:

  - checks for documentation for new __setup calls
  - clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
  - reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
  - reports on unwanted externs

This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
is not intended as the final arbitor of style.

Full changelog:

Andy Whitcroft (19):
      Version: 0.07
      ensure we do not apply control brace checks to preprocesor directives
      add {u,s}{8,16,32,64} to the type matcher
      accept lack of spacing after the semicolons in for (;;)
      report new externs in .c files
      fix up typedef exclusion for function prototypes
      else trailing statements check need to account for \ at end of line
      add enums to the type matcher
      add missing check descriptions
      suppress double reporting of ** spacing
      report on do{ spacing issues
      include an example of the brace/parenthesis in output
      check for spacing after closing braces
      prevent double reports on pointer spacing issues
      handle blank continuation lines on macros
      classify all reports error, warning, or check
      revamp hanging { checks and apply in context
      no spaces after the last ; in a for is ok
      check __setup has a corresponding addition to documentation

0a920b5b66 add a trivial patch style checker
We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree.  These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree.  Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions.  This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.
