I guess you can try aiaiai, I run it for all the patches I take to
l2-mtd.git. It uses also coccinelle/smatch/sparse and other tools to
verify the patches, not only checkpatch. And this git tree contains
scripts and various defconfigs for various MTD drivers - the scripts run
aiaiai.

For example, to check Huang's patches, I run something like:

aiaiai-concat-mboxes ~/tmp/huang*.mbox | ./verify ../l2-mtd/ gpmi-nand

where "huang*.mbox" is Huang's patch set.

There are aliases for verious drivers. There is a 'gen' alias which I
use for general changes like changes in nand_base.c.

Read about the tool here:

The mtd maintenance helpers:

There are few minor issues in aiaiai, which I can fix if you hit them
and complain. Also, I did not invest much time in making the user
interface and experience very nice. But this can also be improved.
