Subject: checkpatch: Add --strict messages for blank lines around braces
Blank lines around braces are not unnecessary. Emit a message on the use
of these blank lines only when using --strict.
int foo(int bar)
{
something or other....
}
is generally written in the kernel as:
int foo(int bar)
{
something or other...
}
