From a45ff9dd3fec5d604f99b2665c40db26ce81ec0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rob Herring (Arm)" Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 15:27:14 -0600 Subject: checkpatch: Fix false DT_SPLIT_BINDING_PATCH warnings Patches which both remove and add/modify DT binding files are incorrectly flagged as needing to split the patch. The issue is the check sees "dev/null" as one of the files in the patch which is not a DT binding file. Add "dev/null" to the skipped files.
