Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: improve error message for p1-check
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:33:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1319027583-17842-1-git-send-email-w.sang@pengutronix.de> (raw)

The old error message was not precise. State now explicitly that the
prefix exists as a file/directory. Also change the conclusion ("appears
to be") into an instruction ("make sure").
