Currently, the script actually _encourages_ users to use the BIT macro
even if adding things to UAPI.
How so?
Running checkpatch.pl with --strict gives:
CHECK: Prefer using the BIT macro
#26: FILE: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/hwcap2.h:9:
+#define HWCAP2_FSGSBASE (1 << 1)
It should probably just recommend the _BITUL macro.
Also, in your commit messages you refer to patches with patchwork links
- please use the respective upstream commit IDs instead. Grep for
"Fixes:" here:
Ahhhhh, I figured there was a more standard way. Will fix.
