Some generic ideas:
How about working to reduce runtime and complexity by
making the rules extensible or separable at startup.
Maybe move each existing rules into a separate
directory as an individual file and aggregate them at
checkpatch startup.
Maybe look at the existing rules that do not have a
$fix option and add them as appropriate.
You could fix the multiline indentation where the
current warning and fix is only for a single line
value = function(arg1,
arg2,
arg3);
where checkpatch emits only single warning and fix
for the line with arg2, but not the line with arg3);
Maybe try to make the coding styles supported more
flexible:
Allow braces in different places, support different
tab indentation sizes, spacing rules around operators,
function definition layouts, etc.
