From 0616efa45af493a259d25c1716102173f10bd789 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 13:52:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: speed up checking for filenames in sections marked obsolete Adding -f to the get_maintainer.pl invocation means git isn't invoked by get_maintainer.pl for known filenames. This reduces the overall time to run checkpatch.
