Yes... the script does this just for *all* files in the u-boot tree.

I do exactly (should have written this to the commit text ... sorry):

- python2.7 check_get.py > ../gnlmpf_org
- Apply this patch (with "patch" not with "git am")
   to the u-boot tree
- python2.7 check_get.py > ../gnlmpf_new
- diff -purN ../gnlmpf_org ../gnlmpf_new > ../gnlmpf

So I expect only a difference in the "scripts/get_maintainer.pl" file,
as no other file has changed, also no change in the git files...
First difference:

The "Masahiro" and the "Simon" diff are only a diff in the order,
but "York Sun" is missing complete ...
