It doesn't like patch 3 and doesn't notice that diff offset starts at line 2:
diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest/runner.sh

Joe, looks like the problem is here:
if ($realline == $checklicenseline) {
realline == 2, checklicenseline == 1
so this is skipped, including the "#!/" check to move checklicenseline to 2.
then:
if ($realline != $checklicenseline &&
$rawline =~ /\bSPDX-License-Identifier:/ &&
realline == 2, checklicenseline == 1
throws warning.
Seems like checklicenseline should be unconditionally set to 2 for
".sh" files? I don't see a way to fix this for just missing the #!/
line from a context diff, though...
