CodingStyle.md says: "Use form feeds (control+L) to divide long source files into logical pieces. A form feed should appear as the only character on a line."
checkpatch.py currently complains about form feed. For example, on commit 2c06d9a927c5("ovstest: Add test-netlink-conntrack command."), checkpatch.py returns: W(140): Line has non-spaces leading whitespace W(140): Line has trailing whitespace + W(177): Line has non-spaces leading whitespace W(177): Line has trailing whitespace + W(199): Line has non-spaces leading whitespace W(199): Line has trailing whitespace + This commit suppresses the two warnings for lines with form feeds as the only character.
