+Subject: checkpatch: add support for Assisted-by tag
+
+From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
+
+commit d1db4118489fffd2b2f612140b7acbb477880839 upstream.
+
+The Assisted-by tag was introduced in
+Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst for attributing AI tool
+contributions to kernel patches.  However, checkpatch.pl did not recognize
+this tag, causing two issues:
+
+  WARNING: Non-standard signature: Assisted-by:
+  ERROR: Unrecognized email address: 'AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION'
+
+Fix this by:
+1. Adding Assisted-by to the recognized $signature_tags list
+2. Skipping email validation for Assisted-by lines since they use the
+   AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION format instead of an email address
+3. Warning when the Assisted-by value doesn't match the expected format
