Thank you.
Please do you mean we can run some checks on drivers just like check patch?
I saw the coccicheck binary in the scripts/ directory but I am not
sure how to run it
on a driver if that is what it is meant for.
Could you please provide some guidance?

Also, I would like to ask that when a driver is eventually transformed
using Coccinelle,
how do we indicate in the commit message that the suggestion and the
transformation
was done using coccinelle just like we do for checkpatch?

Thanks
