Running checkpatch on a directory that contains a cover letter reports
this error:
Checking /tmp/tmpbnngauy3/0000-cover-letter.patch...
ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch
total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 0 lines checked
Let's skip cover letter as it is already done in the Linux kernel.
