I would like to suggest including the checkpatch.pl script itself in the dpdk tree, as this would ensure that we are all running the exact same version of checkpatch. My previous patchset had errors that I had not detected because I ran an older checkpatch.pl, and I think there are others who have similar issues that the checkpatch version provides more/less errors. If included in the repo, we would all automatically upgrade when the next checkpatch.pl is merged - providing consistency. -Harry
