No worries.
No idea why it doesn't work for you.
Maybe the hand applying was somehow
faulty?

The attached is on top of -next so it does have offsets
on Linus' tree, but it seems to work.

(on -linux)

$ patch -p1 < cp_vsp.diff 
patching file scripts/checkpatch.pl
Hunk #1 succeeded at 5634 (offset -36 lines).

$ cat t_block.c
{
	MY_DEBUG(drv->foo,
		 "%pk",
		 foo->boo);
}
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f t_block.c
WARNING: Invalid vsprintf pointer extension '%pk'
#2: FILE: t_block.c:2:
+	MY_DEBUG(drv->foo,
+		 "%pk",
+		 foo->boo);

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 5 lines checked

NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
      mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.

t_block.c has style problems, please review.

NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
      them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
