Commit 4a0df2ef added the following to scripts/checkpatch.pl:
print "Use of volatile is usually wrong: see Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt\n";
but Linus's tree has no such file. not sure what the right thing to
do here is, since I assume we do ultimately want something of the sort
in Documentation...
- R.

That document is in the -mm kernel currently. As soon as it hits
mainline from there checkpatch.pl will be right :-)

That is a little unfortuanate for sure. As Jasper correctly indicates
this file is coming soon to a linus tree near you and things will be
accurate. Otherwise it can be obtained from the current -mm tarball.
It can also be found here on LWN:
