Subject: checkpatch: emit an error when using predefined timestamp macros
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=62ec818f55ccc3e1a04a6634f8e541596778af5d;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

checkpatch: emit an error when using predefined timestamp macros

Since commit fe7c36c7bde1 ("Makefile: Build with -Werror=date-time if
the compiler supports it"), use of __DATE__, __TIME__, and __TIMESTAMP__
has not been allowed.

As this test is gcc version specific (> 4.9), it hasn't prevented a few
new uses from creeping into the kernel sources.

Make checkpatch complain about them.
