4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Uwe Kleine-König <[email protected]> commit 6f4d29df66acd49303a99025046b85cabe7aa17a upstream. Without this change the following happens when using Python3 (3.6.6): $ echo "GPL-2.0" | python3 scripts/spdxcheck.py - FAIL: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 253, in <module> parser.parse_lines(sys.stdin, args.maxlines, '-') File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 171, in parse_lines line = line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False), errors='ignore') AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' So as the line is already a string, there is no need to decode it and the line can be dropped. /usr/bin/python on Arch is Python 3. So this would indeed be worth going into 4.19.
