[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-stable] [PATCH] devtools: don't use bash extension in checkpatches

[Ilya Maximets]

Hi Thomas.

Beside your questions,
There is another patch that targeted to fix this issue:
	http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/44020/
And one similar to mine that I missed while sending:
	http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/43692/

So, I'm not sure which one should be accepted and if I need to
update my version. What do you think? Stephen? Andrzej?

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
