[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] devtools: select patches to check with git range

[David Marchand]

Rather than default to origin/master.., it can be handy to choose the
range you want to check.

Example on a branch rebased on next-net:

Before:
[dmarchan at dmarchan dpdk]$ ./devtools/checkpatches.sh
...
...
67/69 valid patches

After:
[dmarchan at dmarchan dpdk]$ ./devtools/checkpatches.sh -r next-net/master..

3/3 valid patches
