     Subject: checkpatch: update the FSF/GPL address check

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: checkpatch: update the FSF/GPL address check

The FSF address check is a bit too verbose looking for the GPL text. 
Quiet it a bit by requiring --strict for the GPL bit.

Also make the address tests match a few uses of abbreviations for street
names and make it case insensitive.
