This won't work when a patch contains multiple files
from different paths, or even multiple files from a
single driver.
Perhaps it's better to use a generic mechanism like
basename $(dirname $filename):
with some exceptions and add an override patch subject
grammar to appropriate various sections of MAINTAINERS.
I also think it's better to use a separate script like
scripts/spdxcheck.py and tie any necessary checkpatch
use to that script.
