Subject: [PATCH] Fix format of patches passed to checkpatch

Checkpatch is a script developed to verify the style of Linux kernel
patches. As Kernel developers use emails to send patches for review,
checkpatch is prepared for that specific format. This change adapts
the Makefile to use said format.

As a result, indentation in the commit message has been removed, thus
fixing the warnings about Signed-off-by lines being preceded by
whitespace.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#432
