The original patch is:

-CHECK_NOFLAGS			?= CHECKPATCH_CONFIG_DIR="$(abs_top_srcdir)" $(abs_top_srcdir)/scripts/checkpatch.pl -f
+CHECK_NOFLAGS			?= CHECKPATCH_CONFIG_DIR="$(abs_top_srcdir)" $(abs_top_srcdir)/scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --root $(abs_top_srcdir)

and pointed it out as my error.

Anyway, patch merged, no modification was needed. Thanks for your review.

Kind regards,
