Subject[PATCH] checkpatch: Add test for assignment at start of line
From
Date
Kernel style seems to prefer line wrapping an assignment
with the assignment operator on the previous line like:

<leading tabs> identifier =
expression;
over
<leading tabs> identifier
= expression;

somewhere around a 50:1 ratio

$ git grep -P "[^=]=\s*$" -- "*.[ch]" | wc -l
52008
$ git grep -P "^\s+[\*\/\+\|\%\-]?=[^=>]" | wc -l
1161

So add a --strict test for that condition.
