[PATCH] checkpatch: fix spurious vendor compatible warnings

[Florian Vaussard]

With a compatible string like

compatible = "foo";

checkpatch will currently try to find "foo" in  vendor-prefixes.txt,
which is wrong since the vendor prefix is empty in this specific case.

Skip the vendor test if the compatible is not like

compatible = "vendor,something";
