[PATCH] checkpatch: don't complain about "undocumented" USB VID

From: Brian Norris
Date: Fri Feb 22 2019 - 17:56:04 EST


Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/usb-device.txt describes the
'usbVID,...' compatible format, where VID is hexadecimal, with leading
zeroes suppressed. Allow it here without complaining.
