Agreed. I can see the point of not wanting to write an exception into checkpatch for every exception of it's general rules; however, it would be nice if there was a way to maybe have a special comment or something that could turn off a checkpatch error. That way, a checkpatch error/warning always means some action should be taken, and if a rule is being ignored, there is always documentation as to why.
That couldn't work when a comment which may exist in a file is out of scope of the patch context.
