While we usually fix its errors and warnings on current patches, checkpatch changes over time and code it once accepted sometimes no longer passes. For that reason we don't accept patches to in-tree files which now fail checkpatch because there are a huge number of them and it generates an awful lot of churn which ends up either causing bugs or interfering with current development.
