Nice script!

I did some changes on it, plus one change at the pedantic mode of
scripts/spdxcheck.py, and placed the corresponding patches at:

	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=spdx_pedantic

With that, we now have (next-20190904):

Warning: SPDX header for file Documentation/networking/caif/caif.rst is at line 2
Warning: SPDX header for file Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/mac80211_hwsim.rst is at line 2
Warning: SPDX header for file tools/thermal/tmon/tmon.8 is at line 2

The first two are due to a ":orphan:" tag at the RST files. IMO, it makes
sense to have this at the very beginning of the files with weren't added
yet at the documentation body. Having them generating a warning is a plus.

The last one is interesting... what's the "very first line" where a
SPDX header tag should be on a man page?

Thanks,
Mauro
