checkpatch raise some false positives when run outside of the kernel tree.
The script checkpatch.pl from the kernel checks a list
of structs known to be const.
It is obviously not relevant as DPDK has not such list.

The Subject in an email can be split on two lines.
In such case, the second line (starting with a space) can be
joined to the first one.
It is handled differently when parsing stdin or a file.

The commit e13fbc065c7f ("scripts: improve quiet checkpatch")
removed the line "total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 7 lines checked"
from the quiet report.
Later, commit e7c38f471384 ("scripts: remove useless checkpatch notes")
removed few lines before "total:.*lines checked", so it was not working
well for quiet reporting.
Better to keep the "total:" line in quiet mode and remove the other ones.
That's why the checkpatch.pl option --no-summary is not used anymore
by reverting the commit e13fbc065c7f.

The list of git commits to check was in the reversed order.
Also add a comment in the help of checkpatches.sh about list input.

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
flag - both are not needed to source the file.

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.
