Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] scripts: allow checkpatch and get_maintainer in sparse checkouts

[CaoRuichuang]

Hi Joe,

I re-tested this on a clean sparse checkout of the upstream tree.

Both tools work fine with --no-tree:
- scripts/checkpatch.pl --no-tree ...
- scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-tree ...

So you are right that changing top_of_kernel_tree() is unnecessary for
this workflow. I'll drop this series.

Thanks,
CaoRuichuang
