Subject: checkpatch: don't check c99 types like uint8_t under tools
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd39f904b17686df0f409e880af1ccfa2fe4ae1a;p=linux-beck.git

checkpatch: don't check c99 types like uint8_t under tools

Tools contains user space code so uintX_t types are just fine.
