[PATCH 0/6] checkpatch.pl: Add features to help improve U-Boot code

U-Boot mostly follows linux for coding style, but it has some of its own
features. These come up again and again in code review. We should try to
reduce the load of reviewers.

This series adds a little U-Boot function to the checkpatch script and an
option to enable it. Hopefully it is easy enough to maintain this as the
script is updated, even if it is not accepted upstream.

Some initial checks are included as examples of what we can do.


Simon Glass (6):
  checkpatch.pl: Update to v5.7-rc6
  checkpatch.pl: Add a U-Boot option
  checkpatch.pl: Add a check for tests needed for uclasses
  checkpatch.pl: Warn if the flattree API is used
  checkpatch.pl: Request a test when a new command is added
  checkpatch.pl: Request if() instead #ifdef
