Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Use python3 by default with spdxcheck.py
Date:   Sun, 28 Mar 2021 22:41:11 +0200

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.
