small nit about subject, no need for resend, now it reads:

[PATCH i-g-t] .checkpatch.conf: Add checkpatch.pl defaults for IGT

imho it could be shorter, like:

[PATCH i-g-t] checkpatch.conf: Add defaults for IGT

Note dropping first dot and dropping script name, as it
is described in commit message and also as a first word.
