Totally agreed.

I think its okay to keep coccicheck because its the name of the tool
called. We do the same with 'make cscope'.
But since I am a bit lazy I would prefer a shorter name, probably just
'make cocci'?

Yes, this would also make sense. As a developer I could add this and
only the code I changed is checked.
