This patch adds a new test to checkpatch that identifies cases where a
line after a conditional statement is incorrectly intended (possibly
indicating the mistake of forgetting to add braces), like this:
if (a)
b;
c;
Unfortunately, it seems like checkpatch is partially unmaintained in
upstream Linux at the moment with maintainers either not responding at
all or not even willing to look at new patches [1]. Since detecting this
error class is important to coreboot, let's just carry this feature
locally for now.
