Checkpatch has some checks specific for kernel code submission, that are meaningless for ledmon, such as:
ERROR: Do not include the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation's mailing address from the sample GPL notice. The FSF has changed addresses in the past, and may do so again. Linux already includes a copy of the GPL.
WARNING: Prefer __printf(3, 4) over __attribute__((format(printf, 3, 4)))
WARNING: Prefer __packed over __attribute__((__packed__))
