Hi Richard,

+for spatch_file in $*; do
+    case $spatch_file in
+       libltp-test-macro)
+           libltp_spatch --sp-file scripts/coccinelle/libltp-test-macro.cocci;;
+       libltp-test-macro-vars)
+           libltp_spatch --sp-file scripts/coccinelle/libltp-test-macro-vars.cocci \
+                         --ignore lib/tst_test.c;;
+       *)
+           tests_spatch --sp-file scripts/coccinelle/$spatch_file.cocci;;

Why here use the coccinelle/ path and add suffix with the spatch_file?
Wouldn't this below more simple to us:

   scripts/coccinelle/$spatch_file.cocci  ==> $spatch_file

+    esac
+done
