Because of how patchew works, the patch email in question went through "git am",
"git push" then "git fetch", and eventually it's the output of "git show
--format=email" that is fed to checkpatch.pl. Something went wrong with these
git commands but I don't know why. :(
To reproduce the last step (which looks the most suspicious to me, maybe you
have an idea), try this on your machine:
$ git fetch https://github.com/patchew-project/qemu \
patchew/[email protected]
From https://github.com/patchew-project/qemu
* tag
patchew/[email protected] -> FETCH_HEAD
$ git show c19172474cd8da8375307b324344345ad7ad01ca --format=email \
| ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -

Your patch has style problems, please review. If any of these errors
are false positives report them to the maintainer, see
CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
