From a0154cdbd3dcf2b1b92f42cb1351a63f3f947e80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 20:12:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: emit a warning on embedded filenames Embedding the complete filename path inside the file isn't particularly useful as often the path is moved around and becomes incorrect. Emit a warning when the source contains the filename.
