It likely wasn't applied because it did not show up in patchwork correctly, due to the patch being inline:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/842121/
In any case, it needed rebasing and updating to support 'u'.
Heinrich, perhaps you can send this upstream since you have the context?

I'm very much against having checkpatch.pl changes that aren't inside of the u_boot area. We're currently at I believe just 1 (outside of adding --u-boot flag) and I'm testing a resync to v5.13 now that just adds one more for good reason and is also obvious enough to not get lost. This however will get lost in a future resync so needs to be brought up with upstream.
