From 701842e3bdd7db09db6af43fc5906ee19b61338d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dustin Kirkland Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 15:57:23 -0500 Subject: kbuild: documentation change on allowing checkers besides sparse Minor documentation change on allowing checkers besides sparse This patch cleans up a couple of mentions of sparse in the inline toplevel Makefile documentation such that it's clear that other checkers besides sparse can override CHECK and CHECKFLAGS.
