From 83725f1d980b92789f99db0ea756979017c37ac3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Corbet Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:31:58 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "scripts/checkpatch: add Assisted-by: tag validation" This reverts commit 8545d9bc4bd0801e0bdfbfdfdc2532ff31236ddf. Unbeknownst to me, and unremarked upon by the checkpatch maintainer, this same problem was also solved in the mm tree. Fixing it once is enough, so this one comes out.
