Actually, we get this all over drivers. Some of the problems are to do with the fact that the check is wrong, so it thinks things like this
drm_core_has_MTRR
are studly caps when they're not, but we have a lot of device programming manual driven studly caps in PCI, ata, ide etc ..
We also have sanctioned use in mm, things like:
SetPageReserved ClearPageReserved
But the point still stands. When checkpatch warns about this, there's nothing that the person submitting the patch can do because the usage was already embedded into the file they're patching.
