The difference is a --strict test 'if ($check)' that precedes and
in effect 'overrides' the ERROR output for that output around line 5120.

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h --terse
[]
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:101: ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:VxW)
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:101: ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:VxW)
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:101: ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:VxW)
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:101: ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:VxW)

vs:

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h --terse --strict
[]
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:101: CHECK: spaces preferred around that '*' (ctx:VxW)

Which means the additional test in that commit should be removed too.
