Mimi Zohar 046fc741e3 checkpatch: make email address check case insensitive
Instead of checkpatch requiring the patch author to exactly match the
signed-off-by tag, commit 48ca2d8ac8 ("checkpatch: add new warnings to
author signoff checks.") safely relaxed this requirement.

Although the local-part of an email address (local-part@domain), may be
case sensitive, exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts
impedes interoperability and is discouraged.  Mailbox domains follow
normal DNS rules and are hence not case sensitive.  (Refer to
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5321#section-2.4.)

Further relax the patch author and signed-off-by tag comparison by making
the email address check case insensitive.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
