The checkpatch.pl in v5.10.y still triggers lots of false positives for REPEATED_WORD warnings, particularly for commit logs. Can we please backport these two fixes?

Why is older versions of checkpatch being used? Why not always use the latest version, much like perf is handled?

No new code should be written against older kernels, so who is using this old tool?
