A generic .checkpatch.conf option already exists which is
looked for in . then $HOME

Do you mean a directory based hierarchy of .checkpatch.conf
files in the git tree so a maintainer could add something like:

$ cat include/trace/events/.checkpatch.conf
--ignore=spacing

and that applies only to that directory?

That might get confusing and have conflicting options
on the command line.
