Depending of the checkpatch version in use, more or less notes are
printed below the report.
Only 6 lines were stripped, resulting to such note being printed:
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
The stripping is now more reliable because based on a very stable pattern.

Quoting the first line of the script: "#! /bin/echo must be loaded with ."
Given that we should drop the .sh file ending as well as the executable

The new option -n allows to give a number of commits to check
from the git HEAD.
If neither -n nor patch files are given, the commits after
origin/master are checked.

It was suggesting to use a Linux macro:
CHECK:BIT_MACRO: Prefer using the BIT macro
It is ignored because it is a false positive in DPDK case.

This script can be used to call checkpatch.pl from Linux with some
custom DPDK options.
The path to the original Linux script must be set in an environment
variable. A script is added to load any configuration variables
required by development tools from a file .develconfig, or
~/.config/dpdk/devel.config or /etc/dpdk/devel.config.
