has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: Documentation: prune redundant SubmitChecklist items
From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
Kernel style is mentioned twice, and the git apply trick is a bit redundant
given the checkpatch.pl recommendation (which also checks for bad
whitespace).
