yes, I'am sure there is some wrong result about the patch, My local
verion is based on (7475e51b8796 (HEAD -> local, origin/master,
origin/HEAD) Merge tag 'net-6.7-rc2' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net)

my steps is modify the Kconfig, generate a test commit. and git format
this commit, then run ./scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-test.patch.
