Checkpatch.pl warning

[Shubham Singh]

Regarding the warning of checkpatch.pl, 
" 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' "
This warning is related to spdxcheck.py which is because of version of python
In python3 str has no attribute decode(), while it works fine in python2, without any warning.
I checked the patch related to this
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180717190635.29467-1-jcline@redhat.com/T/#u
We can resolve the warning by just putting an if statement above line.decode() to resolve the warning. 
Am I right or I missed something ?
