[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 2/5] checkpatch: check utf-8 content from a commit log when it's missing from charset

[Thomas Huth]

This is a port of the following commit from the Linux kernel:

commit fa64205df9dfd7b7662cc64a7e82115c00e428e5
Author: Pasi Savanainen <address@hidden>

    checkpatch: check utf-8 content from a commit log when it's missing from 
charset

    Check that a commit log doesn't contain UTF-8 when a mail header
    explicitly defines a different charset, like

    'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"'

Note: I slightly updated the regex for the "Content-Type" line check
since most of the time, the character set does not seem to be given
in quotes.
