Al's semi-annual post?

From 2015:

checkpatch can be a useful tool for patches.

It can be a much more controversial tool when used on files with the
-f option for style and whitespace changes for code that is relatively
stable, obsolete, or for maintained by specific individuals.

o By default, allow checkpatch to be used with the -f|--file option
for files in drivers/staging/
o Add an undocumented --force command line option to be used together
with the -f|--file option to scan any file
