  Found the right argument for "--root".

~/src/next-linux is a link to "linux-source-6.3.7-1" (from Debian testing)

/home/bg/bin/checkpatch.pl -> /home/bg/src/next-linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl

checkpatch.pl --root ~/src/next-linux 0001-iproute2-man-man8-tc.8-some-editorial-changes-to-the-m.txt

total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 215 lines checked

0001-iproute2-man-man8-tc.8-some-editorial-changes-to-the-m.txt has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
