This will prevent the CHK to appear: Cut from checkpatch.pl: if ($realfile =~ m@^(?:drivers/net/|net/|drivers/staging/)@) { $check = 1; Existing driver out of staging, with this "problem": $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --types SPACING --file drivers/iio/adc/ad7793.c total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 827 lines checked drivers/iio/adc/ad7793.c has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission. NOTE: Used message types: SPACING In my opinion it would stop this incorrect patches.
