[patch 083/127] checkpatch: additional MAINTAINER section entry ordering checks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: checkpatch: additional MAINTAINER section entry ordering checks

There is a preferred order for the entries in MAINTAINERS sections.

See:

commit 3b50142d8528 ("MAINTAINERS: sort field names for all entries")
and
commit 6680125ea5a2 ("MAINTAINERS: list the section entries in the preferred order")

Add checkpatch tests to try to keep that ordering.
