I am not sure at all, but
it seems scripts/checkpatch.pl has a rule
to ban execute permissions.


# Check for incorrect file permissions
                if ($line =~ /^new (file )?mode.*[7531]\d{0,2}$/) {
                        my $permhere = $here . "FILE: $realfile\n";
                        if ($realfile !~ m@...ipts/@ &&
                            $realfile !~ /\.(py|pl|awk|sh)$/) {
                                ERROR("EXECUTE_PERMISSIONS",
                                      "do not set execute permissions for source files\n" . $permhere);
                        }
                }
