It's much less error prone. $ spatch --sp-file scripts/coccinelle/misc/boolconv.cocci --in-place drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/ Or you could use a patch to checkpatch like below and then use $ git ls-files drivers/staging/rtl8723bs | \ xargs ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --fix-inplace --types=bool_comparison but that definitely would not be as good as the coccinelle tool use as coccinelle is much better at parsing expressions. --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index 1c421ac42b07..fe83aa0b1f97 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -6407,11 +6407,13 @@ sub process { $op = ""; } - CHK("BOOL_COMPARISON", - "Using comparison to $otype is error prone\n" . $herecurr); - + if (CHK("BOOL_COMPARISON", + "Using comparison to $otype is error prone\n" . $herecurr) && + $fix) { + $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/\b(?:true|false|$Lval)\s*(?:==|\!=)\s*(?:true|false|$Lval)\b/${op}${arg}/; + } ## maybe suggesting a correct construct would better -## "Using comparison to $otype is error prone.
