That's not true. Checkpatch.pl won't complain.
Not everyone has thought about it or agrees with me but there are time
when == 0 is idiomatic. For example, if you are talking about the
*number* zero then it should probably be == 0. If it's like "rc == 0"
then "rc" doesn't mean the number it means success/fail so it should be
"if (!rc) ". But it's intuitive to say "if (len == 0) ".
The other place is strcmp() and friends where it's much more intuitive:
strcmp(a, b) == 0 means a == b
strcmp(a, b) < 0 means a < b
strcmp(a, b) != 0 means a != b
