ERROR: Do not include the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation's mailing address from the sample GPL notice. The FSF has changed addresses in the past, and may do so again. Linux already includes a copy of the GPL. #30: FILE: drivers/video/fbdev/au1100fb.c:42: * 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.$ total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 159 lines checked NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace. Commit adf4d5676040 ("fbdev: au1100fb: Replace custom printk wrappers by pr_*") has style problems, please review. NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS. Given that this commit doesn't touch the license comments and only has the address in the patch context, I think it shouldn't trigger. I also think that ERROR: "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)" #94: FILE: drivers/video/fbdev/au1100fb.c:439: + fbdev->regs = (struct au1100fb_regs*)KSEG1ADDR(fbdev->info.fix.mmio_start); on ba15cdea3f7dbaf4dfbb840a5ed6609bdd8b37dc (in the same tree) should be at most a warning, given that there is also - fbdev->regs = (struct au1100fb_regs*)KSEG1ADDR(au1100fb_fix.mmio_start); .
