scripts/spdxcheck: Exclude MAINTAINERS/CREDITS
Listings of maintainers and people who deserve credits are not really interesting in terms of copyright. The usage of these files outside of the kernel is pointless and the file format is trivial. No point in chasing them or slapping a SPDX identifier into them just because. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
