Subject: checkpatch: ignore <inttypes.h> format macros for userspace tools
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 13:02:28 +0200
Constants from <inttypes.h> are used only in userspace tools, they are
from ISO C99, let's don't report it:
arch/mips/boot/tools/relocs.c:572: CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <PRIx32>
arch/s390/tools/relocs.c:52: CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <PRIu64>
tools/testing/selftests/mm/vm_util.c:244: CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <SCNu64>
