Perhaps best to have a separate scriptable tool and if necessary
have checkpatch use it like the spdxcheck block.

scripts/checkpatch.pl-sub is_SPDX_License_valid {
scripts/checkpatch.pl-  my ($license) = @_;
scripts/checkpatch.pl-
scripts/checkpatch.pl:  return 1 if (!$tree || which("python") eq "" || !(-e "$root/scripts/spdxcheck.py") || !(-e "$gitroot"));
scripts/checkpatch.pl-
scripts/checkpatch.pl-  my $root_path = abs_path($root);
scripts/checkpatch.pl:  my $status = `cd "$root_path"; echo "$license" | python scripts/spdxcheck.py -`;
scripts/checkpatch.pl-  return 0 if ($status ne "");
scripts/checkpatch.pl-  return 1;
scripts/checkpatch.pl-}

[]

scripts/checkpatch.pl-                          } elsif ($rawline =~ /(SPDX-License-Identifier: .*)/) {
scripts/checkpatch.pl-                                  my $spdx_license = $1;
scripts/checkpatch.pl:                                  if (!is_SPDX_License_valid($spdx_license)) {
scripts/checkpatch.pl-                                          WARN("SPDX_LICENSE_TAG",
scripts/checkpatch.pl-                                               "'$spdx_license' is not supported in LICENSES/...\n" . $herecurr);
scripts/checkpatch.pl-                                  }
