I will add this structures the checkpatch in the next patch series.

The first series was based on one patch per structure type, the current
split-up is based on one patch per structure type *and* subsystem as
suggested by Greg KH. I used get_maintainer --subsystem to find them which
resulted in 150 patches. If you know a better way or want per-type patches,
please let me know (and discuss it with Greg ;).
