DT bindings are moving to using a json-schema based schema format
instead of freeform text. Add a checkpatch.pl check to encourage using
the schema for new bindings. It's not yet a requirement, but is
progressively being required by some maintainers.

IS_ERR(), IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), IS_ERR_VALUE() and WARN*() already contain
unlikely() optimization internally. Thus, there is no point in calling
these functions and defines under likely()/unlikely().
This check is based on the coccinelle rule developed by Enrico Weigelt

git output parsing depends on the language being en_US english.
Make the backtick execution of all `git <foo>` commands set the
LANGUAGE of the process to en_US.utf8 before executing the actual
command using `export LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8; git <foo>`.
Because the command is executed in a child process, the parent
LANGUAGE is unchanged.

markups and very few puntual changes is enough to make it to
be parsed by Sphinx and generate a nice html.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to

Presently C99 style comments are removed unconditionally before actual
patch validity check happens. This is a problem for some third party
projects which use checkpatch.pl but do not allow C99 style comments.
This patch adds yet another variable, named C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE. If
it is included in the --ignore command line or config file options list,
C99 comments in the patch are reported as errors.
Tested by processing a patch with a C99 style comment, it passes the
check just fine unless '--ignore C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE' is present in
.checkpatch.conf.

Devicetree bindings should be their own patch as documented in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt section I.1.
This is because bindings are logically independent from a driver
implementation, they have a different maintainer (even though they often
are applied via the same tree), and it makes for a cleaner history in the
DT only tree created with git-filter-branch.

checkpatch uses the in-kernel script spdxcheck.py to validate the specific
license in a file or script.
This check can currently fail for a couple reasons:
o spdxcheck.py assumes the existence of git tree that may not
exist for a bare source tree from something like a tarball
o the spdxcheck.py must be run from the top level root directory
So add a git existence test and set the subprocess subdirectory.

The current krealloc test does not function correctly when the temporary
pointer return name contains the original pointer name.
Fix that by maximally matching the return pointer name and the original
pointer name and doing a separate comparison of the both names.

Multiple line macro definitions where the arguments are separated by line
continuations can cause checkpatch to emit invalid syntax regex tests.
This can occur when a single argument is modified in a part of a patch.
For example: (to not add a diff in the commit message)
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --git db023296f0
Unterminated \g... pattern in regex; <very long regex omitted>
And, the test does not work correctly when these arguments are all new as
the initial patch line addition "+" is used in the argument name.
Fix this by stripping the line continuations and any "+" from the list of
arguments.

checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates
the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge
5.10.0" runtime string match.
Only perform that minimum version test once and store the result to reduce
string matching time.
This reduces runtime execution time for patches or files with high line
counts.
An example runtime improvement:
new: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null
real 0m11.856s
user 0m11.831s

Add the ability to --fix these string issues.

A struct with a bool member can have different sizes on various
architectures because neither bool size nor alignment is standardized.
So emit a message on the use of bool in structs only in .h files and not
.c files.
There is the real possibility that this test could have a false positive
when a bool is declared as an automatic, so limit the test to .h files
where the only false positive is for declarations in static inline
functions.

It may not be the actual real stable mailing list address, but the
stable scripts to actually pick up on the traditional way to mark stable
patches.
There are also reasons to explicitly avoid using the actual mailing list
address, since security patches with embargo dates generally do want the
stable marking, but don't want tools etc to mistakenly send the patch
out to the mailing list early.
So don't warn for things that are still actively used and explicitly
supported.
