Checkpatch is not pointing out any issues when I run it:

./scripts/checkpatch.pl 
/tmp/0001-staging-rts5208-Add-more-details-to-Kconfig-help.pat
ch
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 14 lines checked

/tmp/0001-staging-rts5208-Add-more-details-to-Kconfig-help.patch has no 
obvious style problems and is ready for submission.

Does this indicate I need to set a configuration specifically for the 
checkpatch?
