Andy Whitcroft fb9e9096ba checkpatch: limit sN/uN matches to actual bit sizes
Limit our type matcher to the s/u/le/be etc sizes that actually exist to
prevent miss categorising s2 as a type.  Fix up the spelling of the error
also.

Hannes Eder 77f5b10a82 checkpatch: make -f alias --file, add --help, more verbose help message
Impact:
  - More verbose help/usage message.
  - Make the option -f an alias for --file.
  - On -h, --help, and --version display help message and exit(0).
  - With no FILE(s) given, exit(1) with "no input files".
  - On invalid options display help/usage and exit(1).

Based on a patch by Pavel Machek.

Wolfram Sang 1e85572697 checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patches
Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one
forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining.  Bitten myself and seen
p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to
checkpatch.pl in case a patch is -p0.  If you really want, you can fool
this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a
warning.  Making the check 100% proof is trickier than it looks, so let's
start with a version which catches the cases of real use.
