[PATCH] checkpatch: remove check for include/asm modifications

From: Dwaipayan Ray <dwaipayanray1@gmail.com>
Date: 2021-03-18 17:27:39
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: checkpatch, the rest · Maintainers: Andy Whitcroft, Joe Perches, Linus Torvalds

include/asm/ got removed over a decade back. checkpatch
still has a check for it: MODIFIED_INCLUDE_ASM

Remove the check as it is no longer useful.
