In order to deal with that bad habit let's remove the --file option and bring checkpatch.pl back to its original purpose.
I don't think this is a good solution the problem and I'm not sure how successful it will actually be at fixing the problem. How about instead properly documenting that single line trivial style cleanup patches are not really helpful and people should not send them? (Maybe add a check to checkpatch.pl that emits a warning if the patch is a trivial style cleanup ;))
--file is a in my opinion useful option and at least I use it on a regular basis.
