[PATCH v2] checkpatch: get default codespell dictionary path from package location

From: Peter Ujfalusi
Date: Mon Oct 11 2021 - 02:32:26 EST


The standard location of dictionary.txt is under codespell's package, on
my machine atm (codespell 2.1, Artix Linux):
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt

Since we enable the codespell by default for SOF I have constant:
No codespell typos will be found - \
file '/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt': No such file or directory

The patch proposes to try to fix up the path following the recommendation
found here:
