Without this comment checkpatch.pl raises a warning about uncommented lock definition. I agree with you, above comment is redundant, but is it okay to ignore such warnings before sending the patch? I'm talking about below checkpatch condition: ===== # check for spinlock_t definitions without a comment. if ($line =~ /^.\s*(struct\s+mutex|spinlock_t)\s+\S+;/ || $line =~ /^.\s*(DEFINE_MUTEX)\s*\(/) { my $which = $1; if (!ctx_has_comment($first_line, $linenr)) { CHK("UNCOMMENTED_DEFINITION", "$1 definition without comment\n" . $herecurr); } } ===== > > > + > > + struct iio_trigger *new_data_trig; > > + struct regulator *vdd; > > +}; > > > > > > +static irqreturn_t msa311_irq_thread(int irq, void *p) > > +{ > > + struct msa311_priv *msa311 = iio_priv(p); > > + unsigned int new_data_int_enabled; > > + struct device *dev = msa311->dev; > > + int err; > > + > > + mutex_lock(&msa311->lock); > > > + > > + /* > > + * We do not check NEW_DATA int status, because of based on > > + * specification it's cleared automatically after a fixed time. > > + * So just check that is enabled by driver logic. > > That is going to be very problematic if we can have this and events coming > through the same interrupt pin.

And looks like we can't determince actual status of NEW_DATA virtual interrupt when physical IRQ is raised. I will back to this problem when begin Motion Events feature implementation.
