Hello,
include/asm/ got removed a long time back (probably v1.1.45).
Checkpatch still worries about that:

if ($realfile =~ m@^include/asm/@) {
ERROR("MODIFIED_INCLUDE_ASM",
"do not modify files in include/asm, change architecture specific
files in include/asm-<architecture>\n" . "$here$rawline\n");
}

Can we remove this check?

Wow, v1.1.45... that must have been taking quite some digging in the
ancient dirt to find that out.

I agree, let us remove that rule.

Thanks for the documentation effort on checkpatch.pl and cleaning up
obsolete rules while documenting.
