Yeah, it could be his email client, weird though because if I pull the
patch from the kernel.org archive's mbox though, I don't get any
errors except the MAINTAINERS file thing:

wget https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181004195906.201895-1-schuffelen@google.com/raw
-O /tmp/tmp.patch
./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict /tmp/tmp.patch

WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#167:
new file mode 100644

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 634 lines checked
