At present patman sets the python path on startup so that it can access
the libraries it needs. If we convert to use absolute imports this is not
necessary.
Move patman to use absolute imports. This requires changes in tools which
use the patman libraries (which is most of them).

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

It is convenient to be able to deal with checkpatch warnings in the same
way as build warnings. Tools such as emacs and kate can quickly locate
the source file and line automatically.
To achieve this, adjust the format to match the C compiler, and output to
stderr.

In python 3.x, print must be used as a function call. Convert all print
statements to the function call style, importing from __future__ where
we print with no trailing newline or print to a file object.

It is more useful to have this method raise an error when something goes
wrong. Make this the default and adjust the few callers that don't want to
use it this way.

In Python, sys.exit() function can also take an object other
than an integer.
If an integer is given to the argument, Python exits with the return
code of it. If a non-integer argument is given, Python outputs it
to stderr and exits with the return code of 1.
That means,
print >> sys.stderr, "Blah Blah"
sys.exit(1)
is equivalent to
sys.exit("Blah Blah")
The latter is a useful shorthand.
Note:
Some error messages in Buildman and Patman were output to stdout.
But they should go to stderr. They are also fixed by this commit.
This is a nice side effect.

checkpatch has a new type of warning, a 'CHECK'. At present patman fails
with these, which makes it less than useful.
Add support for checks, making it backwards compatible with the old
checkpatch.
At the same time, clean up formatting of the CheckPatches() output,
fix erroneous "internal error" if multiple patches have warnings and
be more robust to new types of problems.

To make it usable in git trees not providing a patch checker
implementation, add a command line option, allowing to suppress patch
check. While we are at it, sort debug options alphabetically.
Also, do not raise an exception if checkpatch.pl is not found - just
print an error message suggesting to use the new option, and return
nonzero status.
. unit test passes:
$ ./patman -t
<unittest.result.TestResult run=7 errors=0 failures=0>
. successfully used patman in the autotest tree to generate a patch
email (with --no-check option)
. successfully used patman in the u-boot tree to generate a patch
email
. `patman --help' now shows command line options ordered
alphabetically

The Linux kernel stores checkpatch.pl in the scripts directory. Add
that to the search path to make things more automatic for kernel
development.

Sometimes we don't get a valid filename or line number from checkpatch.pl,
for example if the patch is in a bad format. Deal with this by using a
default value, rather than a stack trace.

What is this?
=============
This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people
It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.
It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:
in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.
See the README file for full details.
