[PATCH] checkpatch: Improve tests for fixes:, long lines and stack dumps in commit log

Show all headers | View raw

Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch
produce some false positive warning messages.

checkpatch has multiple types of false positives:

o Commit message lines > 75 chars
o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs
o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars.
o Fixes: style doesn't require ("<commit_description>")
  parentheses and double quotes like other uses of
  git commit ID and description.

Fix these.

Miscellanea:

o Move the test for checking $commit_log_possible_stack_dump
  above the test for a long line commit message
o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets
