UEFI subsystem uses utf-16 string, but checkpatch.pl complains about any occurrences of L"xxx" which is definitely legal. So just suppress this kind of warning. Precautiously, we will check u"xxx" as well.

I think we're a little out of sync with the kernel's v5.7 but this doesn't look to be fixed there either. Can you please submit it upstream? Thanks!
Hello Tom,
I already raised that issue to the Kernel people and they were not interested in fixing it:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/17/1086
Recently a lot of changes have been done to the U-Boot version of checkpatch.pl.
Do we want to diverge from the upstream and have a lot of work each time we try to sync? Or should we use checkpatch.pl as is and live without U-Boot specific stuff?
I would raise the issue with Joe again to see if he still doesn't want to support wide strings. If he doesn't I worry that since this change is outside of the new u-boot function it will get removed by accident with a future resync.
To be strict, Joe's comment, "Kernel doesn't support wide strings." is no longer true. We can see several examples of L"..." in security/integrity/platform_certs/load_uefi.c
