That won't always work:

$ git ls-files | xargs | wc -c
2716737

Nothing accepts infinite positional arguments.
You are always limited by the maximum length of a command line

$ getconf ARG_MAX
2097152

xargs has:

$ xargs --show-limits
Your environment variables take up 3517 bytes
POSIX upper limit on argument length (this system): 2091587
POSIX smallest allowable upper limit on argument length (all systems): 4096
Maximum length of command we could actually use: 2088070
Size of command buffer we are actually using: 131072
Maximum parallelism (--max-procs must be no greater): 2147483647

Maybe so.

Using xargs allows use of -P to invoke parallelism.
Or you could just use gnu parallel instead of xargs.

Using './scripts/checkpatch.pl -- $(git ls-files <path>)' will only
allow a single process to be invoked for the files to be scanned.
