Another lint alternative: 

 use the lint from the linuxdoc project 

install the linuxdoc package:

*  https://return42.github.io/linuxdoc/install.html

e.g.::

 pip install --user git+http://github.com/return42/linuxdoc.git

and run kernel-lintdoc with the file/folder to lint as argument / e.g.::

 kernel-lintdoc include/media/
