I'm very much against having checkpatch.pl changes that aren't inside of
the u_boot area.  We're currently at I believe just 1 (outside of adding
--u-boot flag) and I'm testing a resync to v5.13 now that just adds one
more for good reason and is also obvious enough to not get lost.  This
however will get lost in a future resync so needs to be brought up with
upstream.
