checkpatch: add --typedefsfile
When using checkpatch on out-of-tree code, it may occur that some project-specific types are used, which will cause spurious warnings. Add the --typedefsfile option as a way to extend the known types and deal with this issue. This was developed for OP-TEE [1]. We run a Travis job on all pull requests [2], and checkpatch is part of that. The typical false warning we get on a regular basis is with some pointers to functions returning TEE_Result [3], which is a typedef from the GlobalPlatform APIs. We consider it is acceptable to use GP types in the OP-TEE core implementation, that's why this patch would be helpful for us.
