Maybe we should add a comment describing the purpose and then > these files aren't totally empty? barebox has its own checkpatch script which doesn't have the problem yet as it's copied from the kernel when there was no SPDX check, so we need an updated checkpatch to even get this problem ;) Then in the Kernel "other" was renamed to "deprecated", so with the current spdxcheck.py we get an exception in the kernel aswell. There were two patches sent for this on LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/11/158 But honestly I don't know the intention why spdxcheck expects certain directories to exist instead of looking which directories are actually there.
