The Docs came first.  I patched checkpatch shortly after the docs were
added but sent it to the wrong place so it never landed.  FYI here is
the original thread on LKML

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/6/1083

It includes some discussion on the topic.  I did laugh to see even
Linus' name on an incorrect usage of the tag.

Hope this helps,
Tobin.
