[PATCH 2/3] CHECKPATCH: add terse output option to checkpatch.pl

[Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.sunysb.edu>]

Such terse output complies with g/cc and looks like

	file_name:line_number:error_message

This output can be easily parsed within text editors (e.g., emacs/vim) that
can produce a split text screen showing in one screen the error message, and
in another screen the corresponding source file, with the cursor placed on
the offending line.
