commit c9aa1efe8ca1f389ed307f66adad889773867304
Author: Stefan Reinauer 
Date:   Mon Aug 1 12:21:30 2016 -0700

Update .checkpatch.conf

- Don't require a description of every config statement in the
    Kconfig changes
    - Don't complain about externs in .c files
    - Don't complain about the use of the volatile keyword.  The kernel
    may not want it, but we definitely need it.
    - Disable checks that seem to be broken.
