[PATCH] checkpatch.pl: adapt to new Assisted-by: format

Jeff Layton <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.workflows,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
There is a new format for the 'Assisted-by:' tag. Change checkpatch.pl
to just check that it has a value rather than testing for a specific
format.

Assisted-by: LLM

This is a companion patch to the one to change the format in
Documentation/. See:
