Subject[PATCH 1/3] checkpatch: improve Kconfig help text patch parsing
Date
While parsing Kconfig help text, allow the strings that affect
parsing (e.g., help, bool, tristate, and prompt) to be in existing
text, not just added text (i.e., allow both + and a space character
at the beginning of the line).

This improves parsing of a patch like:

+config CRYPTO_SHA512_S390
+ tristate "SHA384 and SHA512 (s390)"
+ depends on S390
select CRYPTO_HASH
help
- SHA512 secure hash standard (DFIPS 180-2).
+ SHA-384 and SHA-512 secure hash algorithms (FIPS 180)

- This version of SHA implements a 512 bit hash with 256 bits of
- security against collision attacks.
+ Architecture: s390

- This code also includes SHA-384, a 384 bit hash with 192 bits
- of security against collision attacks.
+ It is available as of z10.
