[PATCH] checkpatch: Use python3 by default with spdxcheck.py

From: Ismael Luceno
Date: Sun Mar 28 2021 - 16:50:50 EST


Allow to override this via the PYTHON environment variable.

Some systems still provide Python 2.x under the python name for
compatibility reasons; plus the spdxcheck.py script already specifies
python3 as it's interpreter.
