Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] devtools/check-symbol-changes.sh: awk script issue

["Liang, Ma" <liang.j.ma@intel.com>]

Hi Neil, 
   there are two things here. 
   1. This issue give me negative report when I run checkpatch.
      So, I hope we can disable symbol check before we fix it.

   2. How to fix that 
      I still don't understand why we need match section name start with '+'.
      The section name should start with 'A-Z' only for my opinion.

Regards
Liang
