This patch made it into linux-next (ie, next-20161028).

This triggers:
    Unrecognized character \xA0; marked by <-- HERE after <-- HERE near column 1 at ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl line 277.

Git blame shows:
    git blame -L 277,+1 ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl
    b67071653d3fc (Joe Perches 2016-10-28 13:22:01 +1100 277) <A0><A0><A0><A0>$sections = 1;

(A0 seems to be the no break space. That character was inserted more
often further down the patch.)

Anybody else seeing this?
