Back when I used to run checkpatch it seemed to cope, it obviously wouldn't find much to look at in there but you could feed it an entire series with cover letter and the cover letter wouldn't cause any extra issues. > P.S.

In these areas you're more just looking for someone to say that they've done relevant testing but there's not a substantial difference between say a comment on a pull request or a followup email.
