checkpatch is useful, but not in situations where following its guidance
results in code which is diffficult to read. I run checkpatch --strict when
applying patches, so I do notice when it complains. If I want a report
to be addressed, I'll say that (such as, for example, when people are
overly generous with empty lines). If not, you can assume that I am ok with
the report and find it more important to have readable code than being
checkpatch-clean.
