From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@amd.com>

Rule 1.1 is uncontroversial and we are already following it.

Rule 5.6 has been deemed a good rule to have by the MISRA C group.
However, we do have a significant amount of violations that will take
time to resolve and might require partial deviations in the form of
in-code comments or MISRA C scanners special configurations (ECLAIR).
For new code, we want this rule to generally apply hence the addition to
docs/misra/rules.rst.
