Perhaps (like the -W options for GCC) there could be a way to specify in a Makefile which checkpatch messages are reported/not reported? I don't claim that's a good suggestion, but if I could optionally indicate somewhere that "two consecutive blank lines is OK for Greybus" (one example that comes to mind) I might do so.
checkpatch already has --ignore=<list> and --types=<list> for the various classes of messages it emits.
see: $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --list-types --verbose
Dwaipayan Ray (cc'd) is supposedly working on expanding the verbose descriptions of each type.
