[PATCH 03/25] checkpatch: Ignore removed lines in license check

Posted by Alex Bennée 6 days, 5 hours ago

From: Nabih Estefan <nabihestefan@google.com>

When running the license check, if we are updating a license it is
possible for the checkpatch script to test against old license lines
instead of newer ones, since the removal lines appear before the
addition lines in a .patch file.

Fix this by skipping over lines that start with "-" in the checkpatch
script.
