The patch titled Subject: checkpatch: allow optional shorter config descriptions has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was checkpatch-allow-optional-shorter-config-descriptions.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vadim Bendebury <vbendeb@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: allow optional shorter config descriptions This script is used by many other projects, and in some of them the requirement of at least 4 line long description for all Kconfig items is excessive. This patch adds a command line option to control the required minimum length. Tested running this script over a patch including a two line config description. The script generated a warning when invoked as is, and did not generate it when invoked with --min-conf-desc-length=2.
