checkpatch: Warn on improper usage of Co-developed-by
The purpose of Co-developed-by: is to give attribution to authors who aren't already attributed by the From: tag, i.e. who aren't the nominal patch author. Because Co-developed-by: is essentially a variation of From:, it must be accompanied by a Signed-off-by: of the associated co-author. To ease the burden of determining whether or not co-authors have signed off, Co-developed-by and Signed-off-by: must be explicitly paired, i.e. on consecutive lines for a given co-author. Suggested-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
