    checkpatch: remove email address comment from email address comparisons · dfa05c28
    Joe Perches authored Apr 06, 2020
    
    
    About 2% of the last 100K commits have email addresses that include an
    RFC2822 compliant comment like:
    
    	Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
    
    checkpatch currently does a comparison of the complete name and address to
    the submitted author to determine if the author has signed-off and emits a
    warning if the exact email names and addresses do not match.
    
    Unfortunately, the author email address can be written without the comment
    like:
    
    	Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
    
    Add logic to compare the comment stripped email addresses to avoid this
    warning.
