With the last commit to support the SuperH boot code files, we have the
following regression:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f <(echo '/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */')
WARNING: 'SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */' is not supported in LICENSES/..
+/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 1 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.
/dev/fd/63 has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
This is not obvious, but spdxcheck.py is launched in checkpatch.pl with :
...
} elsif ($rawline =~ /(SPDX-License-Identifier: .*)/) {
my $spdx_license = $1;
if (!is_SPDX_License_valid($spdx_license)) {
WARN("SPDX_LICENSE_TAG",
"'$spdx_license' is not supported in LICENSES/...\n" . \
$herecurr);
}
...
sub is_SPDX_License_valid {
my ($license) = @_;
...
my $status = `cd "$root_path"; echo "$license" |
python scripts/spdxcheck.py -`;
...
}
The first chars before 'SPDX-License-Identifier:' are ignored.
This commit fixes this regression.
Fixes:959b49687838 (scripts/spdxcheck.py: Handle special quotation mark comments)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
