Philipp Hahn bc2f19d653 checkpatch: describe --min-conf-desc-length ... Neither the warning nor the help message gives any hint on the unit for length: Could be meters, inches, bytes, characters or ... lines. Extend the output of `--help` to name the unit "lines" and the default: - --min-conf-desc-length=n set the min description length, if shorter, warn + --min-conf-desc-length=n set the minimum description length for config symbols + in lines, if shorter, warn (default 4) Include the minimum number of lines as other error messages already do: - WARNING: please write a help paragraph that fully describes the config symbol + WARNING: please write a help paragraph that fully describes the config symbol with at least 4 lines Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/c71c170c90eba26265951e248adfedd3245fe575.1741605695.git.p.hahn@avm.de Signed-off-by: Philipp Hahn <p.hahn@avm.de> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Dwaipayan Ray <dwaipayanray1@gmail.com> Cc: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>		2025-03-17 12:17:00 -07:00
