Ferruh,
I have a lot of questions :)

What is the purpose of this variable?
Why adding some options would be specific to git hooks?

You do not need to exit. Just cd $(dirname $0).

You do not need the ;

How to pass RTE_DOC_OUT to the hook?
Why not use load-devel-config.sh?

Why hiding the errors?

Does it work for "git pull --rebase"?

Possible reword: It is skipped with the option "--no-verify" of "git commit".

What is PWD when calling the hook. May it be a subdir?

You need to remove this temporary file when exiting.
But it would be better to use stdin.
It may need a patch on checkpatches.sh wrapper.
In chekpatch.pl: "When FILE is - read standard input".

This variable is wrongly named.

When the new "make install" will be applied, I think we should skip
these files. Please consider patching mk/rte.sdkinstall.mk.
Thanks
