Ok I understand, so what is the way to manage this case? I did
"whitespace cleanup" because of
+ struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *ret = NULL;
which breaks previous indentation, so in my mind it was not cleanup.
Do I need to send you a patch to correct identation due to this fix or to send
a specific patch for stable without identation change?
Thanks
