[dpdk-dev] [RFC] checkpatch: don't complain about SPDX tag format

[Stephen Hemminger]

Since DPDK developers have decided to use a different tag format
than the kernel developers, ignore warnings about SPDX tags.

IMHO would have been better to use the kernel SPDX style and
keep the check but that appears to be a minority opinion.
