I don't see a problem with it, I'd ack patches if the
design and implementation is reasonably clean, but it's
not really for me to decide.

Another possibility is to keep all the uboot specific
stuff in a separate .pl file and let that file be
executed by checkpatch.  Modularity and such is good.

Andy Whitcroft is the nominal maintainer, but he hasn't
been particularly active with checkpatch for awhile as
his real job seems to keep him busy.

Andrew Morton has been overseeing most of the trivial
style maintenance patches to checkpatch for the last
year or so.

cheers, Joe
