Options:
  -q, --quiet                quiet
  --no-tree                  run without a kernel tree
  --no-signoff               do not check for 'Signed-off-by' line
  --patch                    treat FILE as patchfile (default)
  --emacs                    emacs compile window format
  --terse                    one line per report
  -f, --file                 treat FILE as regular source file
  --subjective, --strict     enable more subjective tests
  --types TYPE(,TYPE2...)    show only these comma separated message types
  --ignore TYPE(,TYPE2...)   ignore various comma separated message types
  --max-line-length=n        set the maximum line length, if exceeded, warn
  --show-types               show the message "types" in the output
  --root=PATH                PATH to the kernel tree root
  --no-summary               suppress the per-file summary

  --summary-file             include the filename in summary
  --debug KEY=[0|1]          turn on/off debugging of KEY, where KEY is one of

                             literally
  --fix                      EXPERIMENTAL - may create horrible results
                             If correctable single-line errors exist, create

                             with potential errors corrected to the preferred
                             checkpatch style
  --ignore-perl-version      override checking of perl version.  expect
                             runtime errors.
