A simple script to run checkpatch --fix for various types of of cleanups.

This script is useful primarily for staging.

This reformats code to a more CodingStyle conforming style, compiles it, verifies that the object code hasn't changed, and git commits it too.

And 'git commits' it?

The thought I had was to made it easier to submit "my first kernel patch" correctly. like that tuxradar article you wrote a few years ago.

Yeah, but it's good for people to actually understand the change they are making, and edit it themselves. Or at least I think so, but I know others don't, so I don't mind this script. thanks, greg k-h
