Add --fix option to coalesce string fragments.
This does not coalesce string fragments that have newline terminations or
are otherwise exempted.
Other miscellanea:
o move all the string tests together.
o fix get_quoted_string function for tab characters
o fix concatination typo

Emit a warning when single line string coalescing occurs.
Code that uses compiler string concatenation on a single line like:
printk("foo" "bar");
is generally better to read concatenated like:
printk("foobar");

Checkpatch flags CamelCase identifiers in strict mode, but it has a
feature to ignore parts with only two characters to allow for SI units
like mV or uA. Unfortunately, not all SI units fit in two characters, and
not all are lower case followed by upper case.
This patch adds hardcoded detection for frequency and 1024-based size
units (Hz/KHz/MHz/GHz/THz and KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB), since allowing any three
character combinations might be too lenient. The list can later be
expanded as needed.

The use of older function ptr calling style, (*fn)(), makes static
analysis more error-prone; replace with modern fn() style.
So make checkpatch emit a --strict test for that condition.
Update the unnecessary parentheses test for dereferencing
objects at the same time and create a $fix mechanism too.

Shift has a higher precedence that mask so warn when a mask then shift
operation is done without parentheses around the mask.
This test works well for a right shift, but the left shift is pretty
commonly done correctly so only warn on the right shift.

The change from \d+ to .+ inside __aligned() means that the following
structure:
struct test {
u8 a __aligned(2);
u8 b __aligned(2);
};
essentially gets modified to
struct test {
u8 a;
};
for purposes of kernel-doc, thus dropping a struct member, which in
turns causes warnings and invalid kernel-doc generation.
Fix this by replacing the catch-all (".") with anything that's not a
semicolon ("[^;]").

This patch adds support of vendor sub directories for dtb files.
Subdirectories can be specified in $(dts-dirs). Kbuild traverses over
all directories while building and installing dtb files. The directory
tree is also reflected in the install path.

Move dtbs install rules to Makefile.dtbinst. This change is needed to
implement support for dts vendor subdirs. The change makes Makefiles
easier and smaller as no longer the dtbs_install rule needs to be
defined. Another advantage is that install goals are not encoded in
targets anymore (%.dtb_dtbinst_).

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
regard to the s390 architecture. It is a bit bigger than usual,
mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.
The interesting bits are:
- Quite a bit of work on the tracing front. Uprobes is enabled and
the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
- To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
IPTE range facility is added.
- The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
- The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
- The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.
- Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration.
- The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP
domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used.
- Bug fixes"

Add an exception to the return before else warning when the line
following it is also a return like:

This form of a test then return is at least as readable as
if (foo)
return bar;
return baz;
so don't emit a warning on the first form.
