                             single git commit with:
                               <rev>

  --root=PATH                PATH to the kernel tree root
  --no-summary               suppress the per-file summary

  --fix                      EXPERIMENTAL - may create horrible results
                             If correctable single-line errors exist, create

                             with potential errors corrected to the preferred
                             checkpatch style
  --fix-inplace              EXPERIMENTAL - may create horrible results
                             Is the same as --fix, but overwrites the input
                             file.  It's your fault if there's no backup or git
  --ignore-perl-version      override checking of perl version.  expect
                             runtime errors.
  --codespell                Use the codespell dictionary for spelling/typos
                             (default:/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt)
  --codespellfile            Use this codespell dictionary
  --typedefsfile             Read additional types from this file
  --color[=WHEN]             Use colors 'always', 'never', or only when output
                             is a terminal ('auto'). Default is 'auto'.
  -h, --help, --version      display this help and exit
