The project I work on encourages you to run checkpatch.pl, but also if you don't, it's run by the code management infrastructure on all submissions. It takes ~no time and the cost is negligible.
If you remember to do it locally and fix the complaints, great - but you can also screw up or forget. It can be an *and* situation, especially when something is cheap.
It also lets everyone else know whether or not you did it, which has a benefit too (I think).
