[PATCH] checkpatch: stop checking for CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

From: Paul Bolle
Date: Sat Mar 16 2013 - 17:30:55 EST


CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL has been removed from the tree, in commit
3d374d09f16f64ab4d71704cbe621514d36cd0b1 ("final removal of
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL"). There's no need to test for it in checkpatch
anymore. If it ever pops up again it can be caught when someone feels
like cleaning up invalid Kconfig symbols and macros again.

0) Checkpatch tested!

1) A lot of defconfigs still have CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL in them. How
should that be cleaned up?
