The patch titled Subject: scripts/spdxcheck.py: make python3 compliant has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was scripts-spdxcheck-make-python3-compliant.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------ From: Uwe Kleine-König u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de Subject: scripts/spdxcheck.py: make python3 compliant

Without this change the following happens when using Python3 (3.6.6):

$ echo "GPL-2.0" | python3 scripts/spdxcheck.py - FAIL: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 253, in <module> parser.parse_lines(sys.stdin, args.maxlines, '-') File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 171, in parse_lines line = line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False), errors='ignore') AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

So as the line is already a string, there is no need to decode it and the line can be dropped.

/usr/bin/python on Arch is Python 3. So this would indeed be worth going into 4.19.
