Why depend on or have to specify where a linux tree is for building u-boot?

These seem to be irrelevant if --no-tree is specified.  It doesn't
seem like checkpatch would make good decisions about this anyway given
that an include file that exists in the referred-to Linux tree may not
exist in the u-boot tree.
