[PATCH] checkpatch: Add comment about updatingDocumentation/CodingStyle

From: Josh Triplett
Date: Mon Sep 02 2013 - 14:19:14 EST


Patches to checkpatch that add new style rules should also change
Documentation/CodingStyle to document those new style rules; add a
comment to that effect to the top of scripts/checkpatch.pl.
