I'm sure Patchew is using the latest checkpatch here. This is basically /me
reproducing what it does:

fam@lemon:~/work/qemu [master]$ git fetch https://github.com/patchew-project/qemu tags/patchew/20180817150559.16243-1-armbru@redhat.com
>From https://github.com/patchew-project/qemu
 * tag                     patchew/20180817150559.16243-1-armbru@redhat.com -> FETCH_HEAD
fam@lemon:~/work/qemu [master]$ git checkout FETCH_HEAD
Note: checking out 'FETCH_HEAD'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

HEAD is now at 884c1e75d7 json: Support %% in JSON strings when interpolating
fam@lemon:~/work/qemu$ git log --oneline | grep 'qmp-cmd-test: Split off qmp-test'
b9ac2b614b qmp-cmd-test: Split off qmp-test

Your patch has style problems, please review.  If any of these errors
are false positives report them to the maintainer, see
