SubjectRe: [PATCH net-next v3] checkpatch: warn about uses of ENOTSUPP

> ENOTSUPP often feels like the right error code to use, but it's
> in fact not a standard Unix error. E.g.:
>
> $ python
>>>> import errno
>>>> errno.errorcode[errno.ENOTSUPP]
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
> AttributeError: module 'errno' has no attribute 'ENOTSUPP'
>
> There were numerous commits converting the uses back to EOPNOTSUPP
> but in some cases we are stuck with the high error code for backward
> compatibility reasons.

> Let's try prevent more ENOTSUPPs from getting into the kernel.

> Recent example:
> https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200510182252.GA411829@lunn.ch/
>
> v3 (Joe):
> - fix the "not file" condition.
>
> v2 (Joe):
> - add a link to recent discussion,
> - don't match when scanning files, not patches to avoid sudden
> influx of conversion patches.
