Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Improve octal permissions tests
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:03:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1419973437.13502.2.camel@perches.com> (raw)

Add world writable permissions tests for the various
functions like debugfs etc...

Add $String type for $FuncArg so that string constants
are matched.
