Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] checkpatch: Don't warn on "orhapned" DT schema file
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 10:36:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027093818.1806010-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Currently checkpatch warns is the DT schema file is absent in MAINTAINERS.
However the DT schema files are self-contained in this sense and
have embedded information about maintainers of it. This is a requirement.
Hence, avoid checkpatch warning about it.

Tested-by: Akhilesh Patil <akhilesh@ee.iitb.ac.in>
Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

v3: removed Requested-by tag
v2: drop some leftovers


The motivation of the patch is that DT people complaining about checkpatch but
doing nothing about it. They should be more collaborative.
