Sorry for the breakage, and thank you for reporting it!  I had overlooked that.  I've reverted that commit and fixed the test suite via symlinking the top level .checkpatch.conf to tools/patman/.checkpatch.conf instead, which seems to work.

You are CC'd to that change [0], in case you'd like to test it in your environment.

Thank you,

Maxim
