scripts/checkpatch.pl: Resync with v6.17

This resyncs us with the version found in v6.17 of the Linux kernel with the following exceptions: - Keep our u-boot specific tests / code area. - Keep the location of our checkpatch.rst - Change the "use strscpy" test as we don't have that to strlcpy - Keep debug/printf in the list for $logFunctions - Keep checks to "env" files - Keep our tests for strncpy/strncat This also syncs the spdxcheck.py tool and all the associated documentation. Signed-off-by: Kory Maincent <kory.maincent@bootlin.com> [trini: Keep our strlcpy/cat check] Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>

+  **UNCOMMENTED_RGMII_MODE**
+    Historically, the RGMII PHY modes specified in Device Trees have been
+    used inconsistently, often referring to the usage of delays on the PHY
+    side rather than describing the board.
+
+    PHY modes "rgmii", "rgmii-rxid" and "rgmii-txid" modes require the clock
+    signal to be delayed on the PCB; this unusual configuration should be
+    described in a comment. If they are not (meaning that the delay is realized
+    internally in the MAC or PHY), "rgmii-id" is the correct PHY mode.
