Subject[PATCH] checkpatch: warn when formats use %Z and suggest %z
Date
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

vsnprintf extension %Z<foo> is non-standard C.
Suggest the use of %z instead.

Miscellanea:

o Correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL
type strings are supposed to be uppercase only.
Fix this and add tr/[a-z]/[A-Z] to the type check in case
I forget this again sometime in the future.
o Improve the mechanism to find these defects so all
3 current checks are done on the format string

I'll assume Alexey is OK with this modification to the patch he created.
