Many years ago it struck me that the deficiencies of checkpatch.pl could
be addressed with coccinelle but I still don't see this happening on the
lists I read.

I see reviewers being spared from having to examine many flawed patches
because the zero-day bot intercepted them and fed them to static
analyzers. But I still don't see coccinelle being used to the same end
i.e. to reduce the burden on reviewers and maintainers.

Has no-one tried it, or did it not work out?
